The organization that approves and coordinates voluntary safety and quality standards across U.S. industries.
The American National Standards Institute is a private nonprofit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, and systems in the United States. ANSI does not write standards itself but accredits standards developers and ensures that standards are developed through an open, transparent, and consensus-based process. Many construction-related standards—including ANSI A117.1 for accessibility—are developed under ANSI's oversight.
