PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, is a trade association with more than 500 member companies that manufacture packaging and packaging-related converting machinery, commercially-available packaging machinery components, containers, and materials in the United States and Canada. PMMI's vision is to be the leading global resource for packaging, and its mission is to improve and promote members' abilities to succeed in a global marketplace. Standards from PMMI are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.

This standard specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design and the use of machinery. It specifies principles of the iterative process of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers, integrators and users of machinery in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine lifecycle, and for the elimination of hazards or the provision of sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given regarding the documentation of the risk assessment process. Informative Note 1: As used in this standard, ‘machinery’ includes individual machines and machinery systems, for both packaging and processing machinery as defined in clause 3. The requirements of this standard apply to new, modified or rebuilt industrial and commercial: + processing machinery used to produce food, beverage and pharmaceutical products; + machinery that performs packaging functions for primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging; + packaging converting machinery – machinery that converts glass, metal, paper, plastic or a combination of these into a package (e.g. cans, bottles, cups) or makes a package (e.g. bags, paperboard cartons, corrugated cases or trays) for subsequent use on a packaging machine; and + coordination of the packaging and processing functions that take place on the production line. Informative Note 2: Primary packaging is the first wrap or containment of a product. Examples include a wrapped candy bar, a can containing liquid soup, a corrugated case containing a desk top printer, tablets in a bottle, vaccine in a vial, etc. Informative Note 3: Secondary packaging is the packaging of product already in a primary package. Examples include case of soup cans, carton of 10 candy bars, bottled tablets / vial in a carton, etc. Informative Note 4: Tertiary packaging is the packaging of a secondary package, often used for transport/distribution. Examples include stretch wrap pallet of cases of soup cans, a corrugated case filled with 24 cartons of candy bars, cartons of vials placed in a case, etc. The standard does not include packaging or processing machinery used by retail consumers.
