The ANSI Federation represents more than 125,000 companies and organizations and 3.5 million professionalsworldwide. Bridge between public-sector policies and private-sector solutions
What Is a Collaborative? • ANSI Standardization Coordination Collaboratives are established to promote the development and compatibility of voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment programs necessary to support national and global priorities • Coordinate the efforts of the private and public sectors • Environmental scan to identify existing standards and compliance programs, both national and international • Define where gaps exist • Recommend where additional work is needed • Identify organizations that can perform the needed work
