“In the international standards and policy space, there are a lot of developments to keep track of, and we hear a lot from stakeholders about the value of timely information. I am very happy to launch these new ANSI resources at today’s IPAG meeting, to help our members track the key issues,” said ANSI’s senior vice president for international policy Joseph Tretler.

ANSI’s International Policy and Standards Alert (IPSA) is an email digest that offers a concise snapshot of key policy initiatives around the world that can impact standardization. ANSI also intends for this to be an opportunity for members to provide feedback on the issues that are highlighted in the digest.
The first IPSA was initially shared with the ANSI International Policy Advisory Group (IPAG) on March 5, 2024, covering the EU Standards Strategy and the impact for U.S. private sector; the U.S.-EU Technology and Trade Council (TTC); and the potential renewal of the U.S.-Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). With the second volume, ANSI is now pleased to extend the IPSA to all interested ANSI members. Past editions can be viewed by ANSI members here. To receive new editions, email [email protected].
