• Note
• The information contained in this presentation
  was compiled by the American National Standards
  Institute (ANSI) in collaboration with its public
  and private sector members and also with its
  international partners. The primary purpose of
  the chart is to attempt to portray, in
  high-level, block diagram form, the entities of
  the standards and conformity assessment systems
  of the particular economy and their primary
  inter-relationships and relationships to
  international and regional organizations all on
  one slide.
• While many organizations have many subdivisions,
  only those subdivisions most directly related to
  standards and conformity assessment are shown.
• The chart is one perspective of the systems, with
  emphasis on identification and representation of
  the various entities. The chart would look
  different if the entities were drawn proportional
  to their relative work volumes in the systems, or
  if they were drawn proportional to their
  respective standards and conformity assessment
  revenues or budgets.
• Such a representation will have inaccuracies
  which will require correction. The chart is a
  work in progress and we welcome comments and
  suggestions for consistent improvement for
  purposes of accuracy and education.
• Please feel free to reference the information
  contained in this presentation. We just ask that
  you please attribute ANSI as the source.
