What Are ANSI Standards?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a privately funded, non-profit organization responsible for overseeing and coordinating the voluntary standards and conformity assessment system in the United States. Established in 1918, the Institute collaborates closely with industry and government stakeholders to identify and create standards and solutions that address both national and global priorities.
ANSI doesn’t function as a standards-developing organization itself. Instead, it serves as the foundation for equitable standards development and high-quality conformity assessment systems while consistently ensuring their integrity. Additionally, as a neutral platform for coordinating standards-based solutions, ANSI brings together experts and stakeholders from the private and public sectors to foster collaborative standardization activities that align with national priorities.
With its extensive membership, valuable partnerships, and a wide range of programs and activities, ANSI advocates for the interests of over 270,000 companies, organizations, and 30 million professionals across the globe.
Today, ANSI is vital in standardizing cutting-edge technologies, products, and services. It also fosters a stronger sense of consumer and worker protection, enhances global competitiveness, and promotes environmental consciousness.
