Scope:

This standard covers additive manufacturing facility safety management. It addresses the various hazards associated with material, equipment and facility where parts are manufactured using powder-based additive manufacturing techniques. It covers the potential hazards and risk mitigation measures for the safe functioning of the facility. These foreseeable hazards include, but are not limited to, fire and explosion, toxic exposure and other workplace hazards. It also includes recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of AM facilities.

Project need:

To develop a Joint Canada-U.S. National Standard for Additive Manufacturing Facility Safety Management.
