ANSI

An American National Standard is a document that has been sponsored by an ANSI-accredited standards developing organization (SDO) and then approved by ANSI’s Board of Standards Review (BSR) as meeting certain criteria for openness, balance, due process, and consensus in standards development –ANSI’s Essential Requirements. ANSI’s SDO accreditation and American National Standard approval processes work in tandem to help make standards development in the U.S. an equitable and open process that serves both U.S. business and the public good. People routinely search for ANSI Standards. ANSI Standard is technically a misnomer for “ANSI-approved American National Standards,” since ANSI itself does not develop the standards. What most people think of as ANSI Standards are actually standards developed by one of the 230+ standards developers accredited by ANSI, and then approved by ANSI as having met the due process criteria spelled out in ANSI’s Essential Requirements.
