The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) oversees the creation, promulgation and use of American Standards.
ANSI has had several name changes since its formation:
-
American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC), 1916 to 1928
-
American Standards Association (ASA), 1928 to 1966
-
United States of America Standards Institute (USASI), 1966 to 1969
-
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 1969 to date
How do you request a printed ANSI standard in the Catalogue?
If you know the number of the standard:
- Go to the Catalogue record for American National Standards Note The standards are not listed individually, but grouped within a number range. Not all issues within these number ranges are held.
- Type in the number of the standard in the space provided for the volume number e.g.
- Volume/No.: ANSI/R15.02-1-1990
If you do not know the number of the standard, you can look it up in an index.
