Driving the Future for Acoustics
Since 1932, ASA Standards has served an integral role and remains at the core of ASA’s mission—to generate, disseminate, and promote the knowledge and practical applications of acoustics.
ASA Standards is an accredited Standards Development Organization, leading the way in developing guidelines and best practices that address safety, improve efficiency, secure marketplace competitiveness and ensure quality related to noise and acoustics. We also participate in international standards development as administers for US Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) to ISO and IEC—providing US stakeholders access to and participation in international standards development.
ASA Standards excels in generating, promoting, and disseminating knowledge and practical applications in the fields of Acoustics, Mechanical Vibration and Shock, Bioacoustics, Animal Bioacoustics, and Noise through the development of national and international standards.
Today, organizational members support ASA volunteer-driven working groups, who develop more than 150 standards and technical reports and we welcome and encourage participation to all interested in contributing to advancements in the field of acoustics.
Become an ASA Standards Member and make your voice heard in shaping the standards that guide the acoustics industry. Become part of the process that drives national and international consensus, and enjoy exclusive member benefits designed to help you grow, connect, and lead.
ASA Standards is committed to ensuring open participation and access to the standards development process for all. Our Accredited Standards Committees (ASCs) bring together experts from industry, government, and academia to build U.S. consensus on acoustical standards. Through thoughtful review, discussion, commenting, and balloting, ASCs guide the development of new, revised, adopted, reaffirmed, and withdrawn American National Standards.
As the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredits U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) to serve as national mirror committees to ISO and IEC Technical Committees (TCs), Subcommittees (SCs), and Project Committees (PCs). Through these TAGs, U.S. experts collaborate to develop and convey national consensus positions on international ballots, new work proposals, and nominations for delegates and experts representing the United States.
