The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requires that standards be revised and updated every five years. As a result, for the last two years a committee at PMMI (an ANSI-accredited standards developing organization) has been working to revise the technical requirements of the ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2016 Safety Requirements for Packaging and Processing Machinery standard. The work has recently been completed and a new ANSI-approved version of the standard is expected to be published and made available soon. The objective of the B155.1 standard is to eliminate injuries to personnel working with or around packaging and processing systems by establishing requirements for the design, construction, reconstruction, modification, installation, set-up, operation, and maintenance of packaging and processing machinery systems. Responsibilities have been assigned to the supplier, the user, and the user personnel to implement this standard.
