American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)

coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and
conformity assessment systems
Why an ANSI Standard?
1. ANSI process helps ensure the development
of a single American National Standard that
does not overlap or conflict with other
American National Standards
2. Use of an accredited, audited process
enhances credibility of the resulting standard
3. ANSI requirements ensure the opportunity for
all affected stakeholders to participate in the
standards development process
