American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)
As the voice of the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system, the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) empowers its members and
constituents to strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy
while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of
the environment.
The Institute oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of
norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector:
from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock
production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged
in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards – including
globally-recognized cross-sector programs such as the ISO 9000 (quality) and ISO
14000 (environmental) management systems.
The American National Standards Institute has accredited the following
personnel certification programs utilizing the Conference for Food Protection
Standards.
