  2. API Standards Development Process • API is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) • Regular API Standards program audits (conducted by ANSI) • Open and transparent process (anyone can comment on any document) • All comments and objections must be considered

  3. Standards Development Process • Developed by consensus (does not mean unanimity) • Committee balance between users, manufacturers and contractors/consultants • Standards developed using ANSI approved API Standards Development Procedures (available on-line at www.api.org) • API corporate membership is not a requirement for participation on API standardization committees

  4. Standards Development Process • Standards group has oversight for ensuring conformance with the applicable procedures, facilitating meetings, and assisting in resolution of comments/conflicts • Open Process - Seek representation from all interest groups: member companies, other trade organizations, government, consultants, etc.
