2、ved February 5, 2014 American National Standards Institute, Inc. American National Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is

3、established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections

4、 be considered and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he/she has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using pr

5、oducts, processes or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstance give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation

6、 of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretation should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn

7、 at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of publication.

Printed in the United States of America Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/ISEA 125-2014) Conformity assessment is defined as the demonstration that specified requirements relating to a prod

10、uct, process, system, person or body are fulfilled. For safety and personal protective equipment (PPE), the specified requirements are found in product standards, along with test methods, sampling procedures, and labeling and marking requirements. Conformity assessment includes testing, evaluation o

11、f test data to determine conformity, declaration of conformity, and accreditation of laboratories, certification bodies and quality management systems. In the United States, there are multiple approaches to PPE conformity assessment. Respiratory protection PPE is subject to federal regulations requi

12、ring government testing and certification. Some product standards include specific conformity assessment requirements, including in some cases independent third-party certification. Most PPE is tested and evaluated by the supplier to requirements of voluntary product standards, and the supplier atte

13、sts to the products conformance to the standard by marking or labeling. Federal regulations require that employers provide PPE that meets minimum performance requirements, but in most cases do not specify any type of conformity assessment. ANSI/ISEA 125-2014 is designed to provide a standardized con

14、formity assessment system that can be used by suppliers, specifiers, users and regulators. As a stand-alone document it can be applied as a uniform reference across a range of product categories. It is intended as a resource that can be referenced by end user purchasers of products, who may include

15、compliance to this standard as a requirement of a purchase contract with a supplier; by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over workplace safety and health, or by product standard development committees to define their conformity assessment requirements for a particular product performance s

16、tandard. As part of their benchmark research, the developers of the standard studied conformity assessment models in use around the world. These models include comprehensive national requirements for standards, testing and certification; the multinational European system based on product performance

17、 requirements established in legislation, and the decentralized system in the US. ANSI/ISEA 125-2014 provides three levels of conformity assessment. For each level, there are requirements for initial and ongoing testing, quality management, corrective and preventive action, recordkeeping and declara

18、tion of conformity. Where standards are specified for these processes, accreditation requirements are included. The standard provides the option to select a method of conformity assessment that provides a suitable level of assurance of conformity for any product or application. It is beyond the scop

19、e of this standard to prescribe the appropriate level of conformity assessment for any product category, hazard or work environment. This is a decision that is made by the end use purchaser who references standards, by a regulatory agency with authority over the use of PPE, or by the product standar

20、ds committee whose members are closest to the product category and the products application. Guidance for selecting the appropriate level is included in an appendix. Suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the ISEA, 1901 N. Moore Street, Suite 808, Arling

21、ton, VA 22209; e-mail standardssafetyequipment.org. This standard was developed and drafted by the ISEA Standards Policy and Planning Committee (SPPC), whose members are knowledgeable and experienced in the development and implementation of PPE product standards and conformity assessment in the Unit

22、ed States and around the world. Members of the drafting committee included representatives of 3M Company, Capital Safety, Encon Safety Products, ERB Industries, Gateway Safety, Honeywell Safety Products, ICS Laboratories, Kimberly-Clark Professional, Lakeland Industries, MSA and OccuNomix Internatio
