U.S. Standardization System

American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

A private, non-profit organization that administers and 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

NSF International The Public Health and Safety Company
