ANSI Logo, Icon and Marks
"ANSI" and the ANSI logo are registered trademarks of the American National
Standards Institute.
ANSI does not itself develop standards or certify management systems, products,
services, materials or personnel. ANSI does not permit, under any
circumstances, the use of the ANSI logo. Doing so would give the false
impression that ANSI carries out certification activities, or has approved or
authorized the organization using its logo. Examples of unacceptable use of the
ANSI logo include use on products or websites, or in marketing materials,
advertisements and company letterheads.
ANSI will take whatever actions it considers necessary to prevent the misuse of
its logo.
The ANSI logo cannot be used by members, standards developers or certification
programs in connection with their promotions or communications regarding ANSI
affiliation, approval or certification. However, ANSI members, approved
standards developers and certification programs may use the ANSI Member Icon
and Approved American National Standard and ANSI Accredited Certification
Program marks, as set forth below, which have been designed so that they
resemble the ANSI logo, but carry their own distinct message.
ANSI Member Icon
Recognizing that strong brand recognition is imperative when solidifying the
linkage between an organization and its members, the American National
Standards Institute Membership Department has introduced the
ANSI Member Icon, a graphic for use exclusively by ANSI members. The
icon may be used on the website of an ANSI member as a mechanism to demonstrate
its affiliation with the Institute and the U.S. standards and conformity
assessment community. The graphic may also be used as a hyperlink to the ANSI
Online website.
ANSI Approved American National Standards
Standards developers accredited by the ANSI may choose to use the
Approved American National Standard mark. Standards developers may no
longer use ANSI’s logo on the covers or inside front matter of approved
American National Standards. Developers that have previously published ANSI’s
logo on their standards should transition to the Approved American National
Standard mark as soon as possible. Developers shall also note that standards
currently carrying the ANSI logo do not need to be immediately republished;
rather the covers shall be revised with the appropriate logo or text at the
time of the next revision, reaffirmation or reprint.
ANSI Accredited Certification Programs
Certification programs that have been accredited by ANSI may choose to use one
of the ANSI Accredited Certification Program
marks. Those programs for which a mark is available are the ANSI Accredited
Product Certification Program, the ANSI Accredited Personnel Certification
Program and the Accredited Program – ANSI and the Conference for Food
Protection.
