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.
ASA Standards is committed to assuring participation and accessibility to standards to everyone. Accredited Standards Committees (ASCs) drive U.S. consensus in the development of standards through commenting and balloting on proposed New, Revised, Adopted, Reaffirmed, and Withdrawn U.S. standards.
Part of ANSI’s responsibilities as U.S. member body to ISO and IEC includes accrediting U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs), through the ANSI Executive Standards Council (ExSC), to serve as the national mirror committees in relation to ISO Technical Committees (TCs), Subcommittees (SCs), and Project Committees (PCs) developing standards. U.S. TAGs develop and transmit, via ANSI, U.S. consensus positions and comments on activities and ballots of ISO/IEC TCs (and, as appropriate, SCs, PCs, and policy committees) – including standards activities ballots, New Work Item Proposals (NWIPs), and nominations for delegates and experts who represent the U.S.
