ABMA Safety Slips for Power Brushes
ANSI B165.1 – 2019

The Safety and Standards Committee of the American Brush Manufacturers Association proudly presents ANSI B165.1 – 2019 Power-Driven Brushing Tools – Safety Requirements for Design, Care, and Use. The goal of this standard is to establish requirements for the design, care, and use of power-driven brushing tools in order to prevent injuries to those who use them.

This standard is a revision of the American National Standard Safety Requirements of the Design, Care, and Use of Power Driven Brushing Tools, ANSI B165.1-1991. It has been reviewed, revised, and updated through the Canvass Method with the support and interest of several organizations.

Suggestions for improvement of the standard are welcomed and should be sent to the American Brush Manufacturers Association, P.O. Box 102, Waterville, OH 43566.

We invite you to become part of our review group and to participate in our standards review process. Please contact ABMA HQ for more information.
