ANSI Revises Printing Press Safety Standards

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has recently approved ANSI B65.1-2005, Graphic technology - Safety standard - Printing press systems. This standard revises and replaces the 1995 edition, and is currently available from NPES.

The revision was done by ANSI-accredited B65 Subcommittee 1, and incorporates significant changes, the majority of which were made in an attempt to harmonize this ANSI standard with international standards. Such harmonization is important to facilitate international trade while adhering to U.S. safety regulations.
