ANSI Accreditation
AWPA is an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer.
This means that the procedures which govern our Standards
development process (the Technical Committee Regulations)
have been reviewed by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and are found to be in conformance with the
ANSI Essential Requirements. This contains the elements of
due process, consensus, public review, consideration of
viewpoints, incorporation of proposed changes into a
Standard, and a right to appeal by any participant. ANSI
Accreditation does not imply that all AWPA documents are
American National Standards, nor does it mean that ANSI
writes or reviews the technical content of any AWPA
