Abstract
The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that standards and conformity assessment impact more than 80% of global commodity trade. From design and manufacturing to distribution and marketing, all traded products and services are affected at some point in the supply chain by standardization. Today's business climate is global in nature and scope, and the U.S. standardization system has evolved rapidly to keep pace with the demands of the marketplace. In this white paper, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) offers some perspectives from the U.S. private sector on key issues affecting global standards and conformance today and tomorrow.
