Does recognition of ANSIs conformity assessment programs extend beyond the United States?
Yes. The Institutes conformity assessment policy activities are widely recognized and promote the global acceptance of U.S. products, services and personnel by helping to reduce duplicative marking requirements and certification costs and by helping to ensure a level playing field. These accredited certification programs help to open international markets and reduce trade barriers for certified products. They attest to a suppliers credibility and commitment to quality. ANSI accreditation also helps government agencies fulfill their mandate to ensure public safety and health, thus easing the need for the governments monitoring of product certifiers.
