WASTE EQUIPMENT STANDARDS
WASTEC is the Secretariat for the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) Z245 Committee, which develops all of the
equipment safety standards for the waste industry.
Organizations, companies, government agencies, individuals, etc.,
having a direct and material interest in the activities of the
Committee.
WHAT IS A STANDARD?
Manufacturer
Establish performance requirements for products
design
test procedures to assess conformity to those requirements
convey information
Others
select the right product
understand its application, use and limitations
STANDARDS ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR INNOVATION AND COMPETITIVENESS.
TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, STANDARDS ARE AN IMPERATIVE UNDERTAKING
OUR NATION’S ABILITY TO COMPETE AND LEAD IN A RAPIDLY
CHANGING GLOBAL ECONOMY IS CLOSELY RELATED TO OUR
LEADERSHIP IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF
STANDARDS AND STANDARDIZATION PROCESSES.
STANDARDS PROVIDE THE COMMON LANGUAGE THAT KEEPS
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE FLOWING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO
OVERESTIMATE THEIR CRITICAL VALUE TO BOTH THE U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY.
WHO IS ANSI Z245
ANSI is a federation that manages the voluntary
standards system in the United States.
Coordinate the activities of organizations in the US
that do develop standards.
Sets the rules
Oversees the process
Approves the final products as American National
Standards
ANSI RULES
Standards development processes incorporate the
elements of
Openness
Balance
Transparency
Consensus
Due process
WHAT IS OSHA’S ROLE?
Government agencies incorporate them into
regulations
Accept them as established industry practice
