Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT)

The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) publishes B11 series of safety standards for manufacturing technology equipment.

AMT safety standards requirements cover design, construction, transportation, maintenance, and operation of manufacturing equipment and technology processes.

AMT represents the following manufacturing technologies:

• Material removal 
• Material forming 
• Additive processes 
• Workholding 
• Tooling 
• Material handling 
• Automated systems

Compliance with AMT B11 standards is critical to receive the CE Mark on products.

The AMT collection contains standards and documents covering topics such as:

• Machine tool products 
• Power presses 
• Grinding machines 
• Cold headers and cold formers 
• Coil processing machines 
• Technical information 
• Quality 
• Continuous improvement and safety

If you have multiple individuals and departments regularly accessing standards, then an online standards solution from IHS may be more cost effective for you.

IHS Online Standards Solution

The IHS online solution provides company-wide access to the standards you need from a collection of over 1.3 million standards documents. Whether you require documents from a single standards developing organization (SDO), multiple SDOs, segments and packages assembled by IHS content experts, or any combination in between, you can build your own standards library. The online standards management platform - IHS Standards Expert™ - furnishes you with the most comprehensive worldwide collection of industry specifications and standards.  Information is updated daily with easy, intuitive searching, navigation, and monitoring from any desktop.

Custom Online Standards Collection

If you need a collection of individual standards/documents, then the IHS custom standards collection works best for you. This option allows the greatest flexibility allowing you to pick and choose specific documents, whether they come from one or more SDOs. IHS does not require that you purchase a minimum number of documents to use this option. Your custom collection allows for multiple users at multiple locations to access the documents you have chosen.

Individual Purchase

All standards are also available for purchase as individual documents through the IHS Standards Store in PDF or hard copy formats. 

Deposit Accounts

Deposit accounts are a great way for a customer with online access to obtain the individual standards they need. Using a deposit account, an online customer can obtain PDF and hard copy documents outside of their online subscription. For the hard copy customer, this is perfect way to control purchasing and reduce paperwork. Most documents and publications purchased through a deposit account received a 10% discount from the regular price. To create your deposit account, simply download this pdf, fill it out and return it to the address noted on the form. A minimum $500 (US) is required to set up your deposit account.
