ANSI Consumer interest forum

Objectives

As a membership forum of ANSI, the functions of the Consumer Interest Forum (CIF) include
(but are not limited to):

• Serving as a forum for discussion and exchange of information on key consumer interest issues;
• Providing a mechanism for “early warning” of relevant trends;
• Addressing issues of interest primarily to consumers and consumer organizations and galvanizing implementation at the constituent level;
• Identifying broader-based issues and, where appropriate, recommending that they be addressed by the ANSI Executive Committee; and
• Providing strong leadership in the Consumer Policy Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO COPOLCO); the ANSI CIF is the U.S. link to ISO COPOLCO.
