ANSI Z535.1 sets forth the technical definitions, color standards, and color tolerances for the ANSI Z535 uniform safety color ANSI Z535.2 regulates requirements for the design, application, and use of safety signs in facilities and in the environment through consistent visual layout.
Storage equipment and systems connected to an EPS need to meet requirements specified in related IEEE standards. Standardized test procedures are necessary to establish and verify requirement compliance. These test procedures need to provide repeatable results at independent test locations and have flexibility to accommodate the variety of storage technologies and applications. This standard establishes test procedures for electric energy storage equipment and systems for EPS applications.
The standard identifies the minimum levels of competence required by responders to emergencies involving hazardous materials/WMD. This standard applies to any individual or member of any organization who responds to hazardous materials/WMD incidents. This standard shall cover competencies for awareness level personnel, operations level responders, hazardous materials technicians, incident commanders, hazardous materials safety officers and other specialist employees. Outside the United States, hazardous materials might be called dangerous goods (see Annex H).
The standard identifies the minimum job performance requirements (JPRs) for career and volunteer fire fighters whose duties are primarily structural in nature.
The standard contains minimum requirements for a fire service-related occupational safety and health program.
This standard shall establish a common set of criteria for all hazards disaster/emergency management and business continuity programs, hereinafter referred to as “the program.” A.1.1 The Emergency Management and Business Continuity community comprises many different entities, including the government at distinct levels (e.g., federal, state/provincial, territorial, tribal, indigenous, and local levels); commercial business and industry; not-for-profit and nongovernmental organizations; and individual citizens.
The standard identifies and establish levels of functional capability for conducting operations at technical search and rescue incidents while minimizing threats to rescuers. This standard was developed to define levels of preparation and operational capability that should be achieved by any AHJ that has responsibility for technical rescue operations. These defined levels provide an outline of a system used to manage an incident efficiently and effectively to maximize personnel safety and bring about the successful rescue of victims and eventual termination of the event.
Covers VRLA batteries, used as a reserve energy source that supports DC-powered telecommunications load equipment. Defines the proper operational use, storage conditions and test criteria initial and lifetime for VRLA cells (modules). Intended to be used to establish initial physical and performance characteristics of VRLA cells or modules, performance expectations throughout their lifetime and operations conditions for appropriate use and guidance for designers of these cells or modules.
