Other Conveyor Standards
Conveyor standards address more than just the most popular and widely used types of conveyors. Standards exist for the use of conveyors in niche applications such as fertilizer sampling from a belt, continuous manure scraping, or the sampling of waste streams on conveyors. In addition to establishing standards for the design, manufacture, construction, dimensional characteristics, and operation of a wide range of conveyors, this assortment of conveyor standards showcases the range of both the conveyor industry and standardization efforts.
ANSI/CEMA 102-2012

ANSI B77.1-2017
Passenger Ropeways - Aerial Tramways, Aerial Lifts, Surface Lifts, Tows and Conveyors - Safety Standard
This document establishes a standard for the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and maintenance of passenger ropeways. For this standard, passenger ropeway categories include: aerial tramways (single and double reversible); aerial lifts (detachable lifts, chair lifts, and similar equipment); surface lifts (T-bar lifts, J-bar lifts, platter lifts, and similar equipment); tows (wire rope and fiber rope tows); conveyors.

ISO/TR 16764:2003 consists of a comparison of electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) worldwide standards of interest to the lift industry.
ASTM D7204-15
Standard Practice for Sampling Waste Streams on Conveyors
1.1 This practice describes standard procedures for sampling waste on open and closed conveying systems and is applicable to any waste material that can be conveyed to a waste pile or container. The conveyor system can be a vertical (vertical lifts), sloped or horizontal type. 1.2 This practice is intended for particles and slurries, which can be sampled using scoop, dipper, or shovel type samplers. 1.3 The practice is not intended for large size sample constituents, such as boulders, large rocks, and debris. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
ISO 3963:1977
Fertilizers - Sampling from a conveyor by stopping the belt
The method should be used only where other methods, such as automatic sampling of scoop sampling from a free fall, are impossible, or as a reference method.It consists in inserting of two parallel boards or metal sheets vertically down into and at right angles to the streams of the material and to the axis of the stopped belt, and removing of the material between the boards or sheets.
