ANSI does not itself develop standards. Instead, it accredits standards developing organizations (SDOs) that follow ANSI’s procedures. These SDOs are responsible for the actual development and maintenance of standards. The process typically involves:
Proposal: A new standard is proposed by stakeholders. Committee Formation: A committee of experts is formed to draft the standard. Public Review: The draft standard is made available for public comment. Approval: The standard is revised based on feedback and then approved. Publication: The final standard is published and made available.
