Overview
ANSI is a private, non-profit
organization that coordinates the
development and use of voluntary
consensus standards in the United
States. It was founded in 1918 and
is headquartered in Washington,
D.C.
ANSI logo
 What is ANSI?
ISO Representative:

ANSI is the official U.S. representative to the International

Organization for Standardization (ISO).

IAF Member:

ANSI is also a member of the International Accreditation

Forum (IAF).

ANSI uses voluntary consensus, it does not write standards.

The organization also coordinates U.S.
standards with international standards so that
American products can be used worldwide.

For example, standards ensure that people who

own cameras can find the film they need for
that camera anywhere around the globe.

Mission
To enhance both the global
competitiveness of U.S. business and
the U.S. quality of life by promoting
and facilitating voluntary consensus
standards and conformity assessment
systems, and safeguarding their
integrity.
 History
The AESC became the American The present name was

ANSI was formed in 1918, when The ASA was reorganized

five engineering societies and and became United States
three government agencies of America Standards
founded the American Institute (USASI)
Engineering Standards
Committee (AESC)
 Purpose
The purpose of ANSI is to promote and facilitate the
development and use of standards in the United States. It
does this by providing a platform for industry stakeholders to
come together and develop consensus standards that are
voluntary, market-driven, and widely adopted.
Why is ANSI important?
ANSI helps enable the development of international standards
for all aspect of modern life. When manufacturers worldwide
comply with the same set of standards, people and
organizations are empowered to expect standardized
experiences and products related to almost every activity of
daily life.
Without standards, making products and services
interoperate globally would become difficult:

Standards enable the use of standard-sized

shipping containers, which enable faster and
more economical shipping.
Standards enable interoperability on the
internet. The same computer can be plugged
into a network anywhere in the world and be
capable of interoperating with any system
anywhere else in the world.

 Process
Although ANSI itself does not develop standards, the Institute
oversees the development and use of standards by
accrediting the procedures of standards developing
organizations. ANSI accreditation signifies that the procedures
used by standards developing organizations meet the
institute's requirements for openness, balance, consensus, and
due process.
 ANSI & ANS
What is ANS?

The American National Standard (ANS) is a voluntary consensus standard

that is developed in accordance with the ANSI Essential Requirements:
Due process requirements for American National Standards and subject
to ANSI’s neutral oversight and approval. These requirements are
designed to ensure that development of American National Standards is
a fair and responsive process that is open to all directly and materially
interested parties.
 ANS Process
The American National Standards process involves:

01 consensus by a group that is open to representatives from all interested parties

02 broad-based public review and comment on draft standards

03 consideration of and response to comments

incorporation of submitted changes that meet the same consensus

04 requirements into a draft standard

availability of an appeal by any participant alleging that these principles were

05 not respected during the standards-development process.
 ANSI Accreditation
Several hundred standard developers are accredited by ANSI. For a standard
to be approved as an American National Standard, the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) must verify that the standards developer has met
all of the requirements of the approval criteria such as consensus and due
process.

Receiving ANSI Accreditation shows that procedures were used by that

standards developing organization to meet ANSI's due process requirements
which include openness, balance, and consensus. To maintain ANSI
accreditation, standards developers must consistently follow the "ANSI
Essential Requirements" governing the consensus development process.
 Consensus
"Consensus" means that all views and objections were considered, effort was
made toward their resolution, and substantial agreement was reached by the
affected parties. The American National Standards are referred to as "open
standards", involving the following principles:

Principles of Consensus:

due process and openness;

data gathering; and

compromises among the diverse stakeholders

 International
Standardization
ANSI promotes the international use of US Standards. ANSI
is the only US representative member of the International
ISO logo
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). ANSI
was a founding member of ISO and has a strong
leadership role in that organization as well as in IEC, and
IEC logo participates in most of the technical programs of both
organizations.
 Conformity Assessment
'Conformity Assessment' is the process used by manufacturers and independent
third parties for determining that standard requirements are fulfilled. This
process is a high priority for ANSI, and they continue to grow their accrediting
programs for third-party certification, and continue to work towards their goal of
global standardization.

ANSI continues for work towards their primary goal of enhancing the global
competitiveness of business and quality-of-life in the United States, by promoting
and aiding voluntary consensus standards.
'The ANSI calls itself "the voice of the U.S.
standards and conformity assessment system."
 What is JTC 1?
ANSI serves as the secretariat for the ISO/IEC Joint Technical
Committee on Information Technology (IT), which is also called
the JTC 1. It works on IT and communications standards in the
following areas:

Design and development Interoperability

Performance and quality Unified tools and environments

Security Consistent vocabulary

Application portability User-friendly and ergonomic user interfaces

Key Takeaways
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a non-profit
organization that coordinates standards and technical regulations
that relate to how U.S. businesses, consumer groups, and
government agencies function.

It doesn't develop the standards itself but helps facilitate the

development through promoting standards, accrediting procedures
for developing standards undertaken by its member organizations,
and approving documentation.

The ANSI oversees the standards that pertain to terminology and

definitions, rules about quality and construction of goods and
products, and product testing, among others.
 Remember!
ANSI is a private organization that creates voluntary standards and
is not a regulatory government body. ANSI does not hold the
power to write occupational law.

 WHY HIRE a NETA accredited company?

Safety as a Standard Third Party, Independent Testing Uniquely Qualified Technicians

❑ A NETA Accredited Company recognizes its
safety program is paramount to making sure all
other operational goals are met. Safety
compliance means upholding the highest
standards in the industry: standards put forth
by OSHA, ASTM, NFPA, IEEE, The National Safety
Council, CSA, NEMA, and others. With a
dedication to safety, each NETA Accredited
Company implements procedures and
continually reviews and updates the firm's
safety program.
❑ NETA Accredited Companies are independent
electrical power systems testing service-
providers. They must be divested of
competing service or manufacturing interests.
As third-party auditors, they provide unbiased
electrical testing results while ensuring
accurate testing and reporting; they are never
influenced by conflicting factors involved with
budgeting, installation, or product
manufacturing.
❑ NETA Certified Technicians have earned a Level
2, Level 3 or 4 NETA Certification in electrical
power systems testing and bring the knowledge
and field experience necessary to perform
testing according to industry standards. A NETA
Technician's work experience, education, and
training keeps them current with new
technologies and provides them the knowledge
to perform testing across a wide variety of
power systems.

Work with the Best Total System Service

❑ NETA Accredited Companies earn their accreditation
through a rigorous application process conducted by the
NETA Association. This ensures that every NETA
Accredited Company provides testing services at the
highest standards of safety and reliability as specified by
such entities as ASTM, CSA, EASA, ICEA, IEEE, NEMA, NFPA,
and UL.
❑ NETA Accredited Companies employ a team of NETA
Certified Technicians and support personnel experienced
in all facets of electrical power system testing and
maintenance, doing so in accordance with ANSI/NETA
Standards.
 WHY IS CERTIFYING TECHNICIANS
IMPORTANT?
▪ Inherent in the determination of the
equipment's serviceability is the pre-
requisite that individuals performing
the tests are capable of conducting
the tests in a safe manner and with
complete knowledge of the hazards
involved. Technicians must also
evaluate the test data and make an
informed judgment on the continued
serviceability, deterioration, or non-
serviceability of the specific
equipment.
 WHAT IS A NETA CERTIFIED
TECHNICIAN?
❑ NETA Certified Technicians are technicians who are employed by a NETA Accredited
Company. They have achieved NETA Certification at Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4
through successful completion of the NETA examinations and meet continuing
