ANSI Homepage -
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has served in its capacity
as administrator and coordinator of the United States private sector voluntary
standardization system for more than 80 years. Founded in 1918 by five engineering
societies and three government agencies, the Institute remains a private, nonprofit
membership organization supported by a diverse constituency of private and public sector
organizations.
Throughout its history, the ANSI Federation has
maintained as its primary goal the enhancement of global competitiveness of U.S. business
and the American quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus
standards and conformity assessment systems and promoting their integrity. The Institute
represents the interests of its nearly 1,000 company, organization, government agency,
institutional and international members through its office in New York City, and its
headquarter in Washington, D.C.
