Board of Standards Review
The ANSI BSR is responsible for the approval and withdrawal of American National
Standards.
The ANSI Board of Standards Review is responsible for the approval and
withdrawal of American National Standards and for other responsibilities that
may be delegated to it by the Board of Directors. The functions of the Board of
Standards Review include, but may not be limited to, the following:
-
implementing procedures for the approval and withdrawal of standards as
American National Standards and adjudicating questions or conflicts that
develop in the standards approval procedure; and
-
determining whether standards submitted to the Institute for approval or
withdrawal as American National Standards meet the requirements of the
Institute and acting on all requests for approval, reaffirmation, revision and
withdrawal of American National Standards.
The ANSI BSR does not evaluate the content of standards and does not hear
appeals with regard to technical issues. However, the BSR may hear an appeal
with regard to whether a technical issue was given due consideration in
accordance with the ANSI accredited standards developer's procedures and the
ANSI Essential Requirements: Due process requirements for American National
Standards.

Membership in the American National Standards Institute shall be a pre-requisite
for participation on the ANSI BSR unless the Board of Directors specifically
permits an interested party to participate without becoming a member of the
Institute.
The BSR shall be composed of not less than nine nor more than eighteen members.
Members shall be appointed for a term of three years and shall be eligible for
reappointment for two additional 3-year terms. The maximum number of possible
years of service is 12 (if the member is serving as chair or vice-chair).
The members of the BSR shall serve as individuals, not as members or
representatives of any organization. The principal qualifications for
membership shall be competence and the ability to render impartial judgment in
the approval or withdrawal of American National Standards.
The BSR follows the Operating Procedures for the ANSI Board of Standards Review.
The Board of Standards Review applies a basic set of criteria set forth in the
ANSI Essential Requirements: Due process requirements for American National
Standards to each standard that is a candidate for approval. Standards
submitted without unresolved objections may be administratively approved by the
BSR without further review. The BSR does not have jurisdiction over the
standards of Audited Designators unless the Audited Designator chooses to
submit one or more standards to the BSR for approval.
