RETURN ASD COMPLIANCE FORM by March 1, 2023

Review and Submission Process

Please remember that by returning the 2023 Compliance Form, individuals are confirming, on behalf of their organization, compliance with all provisions of the 2022 edition of the ANSI Essential Requirements.

Please be sure that procedures fully comply with and reflect current requirements before returning the 2023 Compliance Form. 

• Please review the recently updated and enhanced “Introduction to American National Standards” pages on ANSI's website. These pages may be useful to an organization's staff and those who participate in the standards development process. To access: visit www.ansi.org and select "American National Standards" from the top bar. Please note two paths that walk the reader through ANSI's requirements: 1) General Public; and 2) Standards Developers. Please also review the updated ANSI-Accredited Standards Developer list.

• Access many guidance documents that address the American National Standards (ANS) process, including several new guidance documents issued in 2022, at www.ansi.org/asd.

• All ASDs are encouraged to review regularly the updated Lists of Approved and Proposed ANS that are available in pdf and excel formats. Regular review of these reports will support the timely maintenance of each ASD’s proposed and approved ANS, as well as assist with meaningful coordination efforts among ASDs. Specific updates to these lists may be sent by an ASD to [email protected]. (Note that a direct link to these lists is also available on the Standards Action page.)

• In order to ensure smooth and timely processing and publication in Standards Action, please submit PINS, BSR-8s, BSR-11s, and PSA-01s here: https://www.ansi.org/portal/psawebforms/  (Please continue to submit completed BSR-9, BSR-10, and BSR-109 forms to [email protected].)

As there were no procedural changes to the ANSI Essential Requirements in 2022, ASDs do not need to revise their procedures unless revisions have been made to your procedures that have not been approved by ANSI. Please submit any such revisions in strikethrough-underline format with an explanation of the changes to [email protected]. The revisions may prompt the reaccreditation process and review by the ANSI Executive Standards Council (ExSC).

Please return the Compliance Form by March 1, 2023. Failure to return a completed 2023 ASD Procedural Compliance Form by this date may jeopardize an organization's status as an ANSI ASD. To avoid this, and only if necessary, please simply request a filing extension before the deadline of March 1, 2023. Questions and extension requests should be directed to [email protected].
