ASA Standards Committees: Achieving a Balance of Interests

by | Feb 27, 2024 | ASA Standards Development, ASA Standards Membership | 0 comments

Did you know? As part of serving as a volunteer member of ASA Standards Committees, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) policy stipulates our standards development process should have a balance of interests.

For each of our five ASA Standards Committees, ANSI policy requires that participants from diverse interest categories shall be sought with the objective of achieving balance.

Hence, if one of our standards Committees lacks balance in accordance with the historical criteria for balance, and no specific alternative formulation of balance was approved by the ANSI Executive Standards Council, outreach to achieve balance would be undertaken.
