ANSI Standards
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is a non-profit organization established in 1918 that administers and coordinates the standardization system in the U.S.
In principle, ANSI does not create standards by itself and stays in a position to approve the standards created by other specialized organizations or associated committees as the ANSI Standards. Many UL Standards have been adopted into the ANSI/UL Standards.
Below are examples of ANSI Standards:
ANSI Z 535: Standard for safety signs and warning labels
ANSI Z 136: Standard for safe use of laser
ANSI B 11.19: Standard for performance of safeguarding devices
ANSI/RIA R15.06: Standard for robot safety
