The
NPES Product Safety and Technical Standards Advisory
Group provides leadership worldwide in the development
of industry standards and promotion of product safety.
The group coordinates policy and action in the best
interests of NPES members and the printing, publishing
and converting industry through its Product Safety and
Technical Standards Task Forces.
NPES administers 15 ANSI committees, subcommittees and
task forces developing safety and technical standards;
the U.S.
Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to the International
Organization for Standardization’s Technical Committee
130 (Graphic technology) and six ISO working groups
in the areas of prepress digital data exchange and safety
of printing equipment.
In the area of product safety, NPES administers consensus
standards programs operating under the guidelines of
the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop standards
that promote the safe use of equipment and more uniform
competitive conditions worldwide. The Association serves
as secretariat to the ANSI-accredited B65
Committee. Members of the Product Safety Task Force
also oversee NPES safety programs and work closely with
the Government
Affairs Committtee in pursuit of federal product
liability law reform and other regulatory and legislative
activities. In addition, the program provides:
-

| "Safety
First in the 21st" is the theme of a new NPES campaign to raise
awareness of safety issues and promote safe practices in the use of products produced by
NPES members.
The campaign features
the distribution of free rolls of safety-oriented logo stickers for use on correspondence
and packaging.
Since the stickers were introduced this spring, NPES
has distributed nearly 700 rolls, each containing 250 stickers. Each member company
received a roll, and 25 members have requested additional supplies.
NPES continues to urge all member companies,
printers and others in the industry to obtain and use the safety stickers as an expression
of awareness and concern for workplace safety. |
