4. 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. 4

5. 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
Short hand of Commerce battery, light bulb example
Establishes a minimum level of performance.
Greater selection
Easier choices
Better and consistent quality
Lower costs
Enhanced safety and health
Conveys warnings
Labeling

6. Standards are the building blocks for innovation and competitiveness
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.

7. 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 does not develop standards 7

8. ANSI Rules
Standards development processes incorporate the elements of Openness Balance Transparency Consensus Due process
consensus on a proposed standard by a group or “consensus body” that includes representatives from materially affected and interested parties;
broad-based public review and comment on draft standards;
consideration of and response to comments submitted by voting members of the relevant consensus body and by public review commenters;
incorporation of approved changes into a draft standard; and
right to appeal by any participant that believes that due process principles were not sufficiently respected during the standards development in accordance with the ANSI-accredited procedures of the standards developer.
an ANSI standard has a 5-year lifetime. ANSI will withdraw approval from a standard that is not revised, rescinded or reaffirmed at least every five years. 8

9. What is osha’s role?
Government agencies incorporate them into regulations Accept them as established industry practice Citations International trade
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) on March 7, 1996, federal agencies turned decisively to consensus based, voluntary standards as alternatives to specifications that had previously been developed only for government use.
During the past ten years, tremendous progress has been made in the cooperative standardization efforts of industry and government. Significant accomplishments have been realized in critical areas such as health and safety, security and defense, protection of the environment, and technological advancement. Billions of dollars have been saved by using consensus standards for procurement purposes and mitigating overlap and conflict in regulations 9
