About the ANSI China Program
In addition to reporting standards-related activities in China, ANSI's China Program has a direct and growing role in fostering greater U.S.-China cooperation in the areas of standardization and conformity assessment. On April 25, 2016, ANSI will host a one-day conference on "Sino-U.S. Cooperation and the Internationalization of Standardization" with a high-level delegation from the Standardization Administration of China (SAC). Registration for this event is now open.
