Literally everywhere you turn in your daily life, thousands of standards are there, helping everything work. From tech devices, appliances, and energy infrastructure, to healthcare, machinery, and smart vehicles—and nearly everything in between—all innovation is shaped, propelled, and guided by standards.
Here, ANSI illustrates a small sample of the voluntary consensus standards developed by thousands of experts in diverse forums that are working to assure the products, processes, and systems we rely on every day are safe, reliable, and efficient, and work effectively together.
