[SML] "Regulatory" agencies?

Scott

Can’t speak to ATF, NFPA, FCC as they are not my area of expertise.

OSHA regulations are, mostly, not industry specific.  Their regs are more in the “Thou shall” or “Thou shall not” category.  They do NOT write anything specific for the entertainment industry.

ANSI Standards are, in and of themselves, voluntary documents.  They are not regulations.  They only become a regulation when OSHA, or some other regulatory body, adopts a specific Standard and incorporates it into one of their regulations.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [SML] "Regulatory" agencies?

Hi All,
I'm working on a spreadsheet resource and I have a column that could use input. What agencies that actually regulate rules for our industry?

OSHA
ATF
Local Fire Marshals and by extension NFPA & NEC?
FCC

Would ANSI be a regulatory agency? They create standards but I don't think they regulate them. Same would go for NFPA/NEC I suppose.
So many of our industry associations also create standards & guidelines but are not regulatory in nature.

Who else would be a regulatory agency for our industry?

Thanks,
Scott
