The U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day (WSD) is an annual event that recognizes and honors the many contributions of the U.S. standards and conformity assessment community. U.S. activities are organized and hosted annually by the U.S. Celebration of WSD planning committee consisting of representatives from across the standards and conformity assessment community—and co-chaired by ANSI and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) is serving as the administrating organization for the 2024 U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day. WSD is a widely attended annual event that is co-sponsored and attended by federal government agencies.

Please note that WSD is separate from ANSI’s World Standards Week events, but held during the same timeframe.

ABOUT THE THEME

Shared Vision for a Better World: Standards for the Changing Climate
Collaboration is the key to achieving shared goals. The U.S. standardization system has the greatest impact when all stakeholders work together. Particularly as our climate continues to change, the standards community and the whole of the built environment must be resilient and ready to face the challenges ahead. The 2024 U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day will celebrate the theme, Shared Vision for a Better World: Standards for the Changing Climate.
