Reference Office
American National Standards.
A collection of standards from ANSI, mostly in construction and mechanical engineering, are kept in a lateral file in the Reference Office. These consist mostly, but not exclusively, of ANSI A and B series standards, as well as standards from other standards organizations issued by ANSI. These include Underwriters Laboratory, ISO, ASQC, and IES.
American National Standards Institute. Available: http://www.ansi.org/. Date of Visit: July 23, 2007.
The Institute oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards – including globally-recognized cross-sector programs such as the ISO 9000 (quality) and ISO 14000 (environmental) management systems. The site allows searching and purchasing standards.
