1. Comparison of Standardization Systems in the U.S., Russia, and the Customs Union The participation of national institutions in the work of U.S. standards and Rosstandard in addressing international standards, development, adoptions, and utilization of ISO and IEC standards. Gary W Kushnier ANSI Senior Advisor - International April 2, 2014

2. Founded in 1918, the American National Standards Institute is a private, non-profit organization that leads standards, conformity assessment, and related activities in the United States. ANSI is not a government agency or a standards developer. ANSI oversees the development and use of thousands of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developers and approving their documents as American National Standards, among many other accreditation and coordination activities. 2014 ANSI Slide 2 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

3. U.S. member of ISO U.S. member of the IEC, via ANSI’s U.S. National Committee a U.S. member of IAF and ILAC member of regional forums in the Pacific Rim and the Americas liaison with groups in Europe, Africa and the Middle East bilateral agreements with other national standards bodies 2014 ANSI Slide 3 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

4. International Participation and Leadership U.S. is one of the most active member bodies in international forums ANSI is one of 6 permanent members to the ISO Council of 20 and one of 5 permanent members to the ISO Technical Management Board of 14 ANSI and its members participate in 80% of ISO Technical Committees (TC) and administer 20% of ISO TC Secretariats ANSI’s Joe Bhatia currently serves as President of COPANT ANSI’s Lane Hallenbeck serves as Chairman of the ISO Conformity Assessment Committee (CASCO) U.S.’s Jim Matthews currently serves as IEC Vice-President and Chairman of the Standardization Management Board 2014 ANSI Slide 4 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

5. U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) to ISO and IEC Similar to Accredited Standards Developers, U.S. TAGs are accredited by ANSI and must follow the Institute’s cardinal principles, including openness and due process ANSI sets policy for U.S. TAGs because the Institute is recognized as the official U.S. member of ISO and to the IEC (through its U.S. National Committee) ANSI pays total dues for U.S. membership in ISO and IEC and represents the U.S. in other global and regional forums 2014 ANSI Slide 5 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

Academia Individuals Government Manufacturing Trade Associations Professional Societies Service Organizations Standards Developers Consumer and Labor Interests and many more 2014 ANSI Slide 7 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

8. U.S. Standardization System In the U.S. alone, there are more than 100,000 standards These documents are being developed by:  Hundreds of standards developing organizations (SDOs)  Over 500 consortia  Thousands of committees Over 10,000 approved American National Standards 2014 ANSI Slide 8 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

9. U.S. Standardization System Emphasizes private-sector standards solutions Standards users drive activities Provides a strong voice and greater authority to standards users and individual stakeholders Strength from diversity 2014 ANSI Slide 9 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

11. The Public-Private Partnership System is led by private sector  No single government agency has control over standards  Each agency determines which standards meet its needs National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) — Public Law 104-113  Standards are “incorporated by reference” into federal legislation 2014 ANSI Slide 11 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

12. 2014 ANSI Slide 12 The U.S. will.... Adopt International Standards as American National Standards (where they meet the needs of the user community) Submit American National Standards for adoption as regional or International Standards Ensure that U.S. positions (policy and technical) are accepted by international and regional standards organizations Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014

13. “Good Practices” for Standardization Standards should meet societal and market needs and should not be developed to act as barriers to trade The U.S. endorses the globally accepted standardization principles of the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement Committee Decision:  Transparency  Openness  Impartiality  Effectiveness and relevance  Consensus  Performance-based  Coherence  Due process  Technical Assistance  Flexible  Timely  Balanced Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014 2014 ANSI Slide 13

14. In Other Words… Global relevance is not measured by who developed the standard, or where. Use in the global marketplace is the best measure of an international standard Global Relevance Is Critical Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014 2014 ANSI Slide 14

15. Different Views on “International” CEN and CENELEC, for example, adopt and rely upon ISO and IEC standards, and define these as international ANSI and U.S. stakeholders take multiple-path approach  ANSI is proud to be U.S. member body to ISO and IEC (via USNC)  Globally relevant standards may be developed by ISO, IEC, ASTM, API, ASME or any other standards developer that adheres to WTO/TBT principles  Users decide which standards meet their needs, which SDOs they want to work with Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014 2014 ANSI Slide 15

16. The Multiple Path Approach different tools for globally relevant standards National Participation (one country one vote) Direct ParticipationConsortia  Treaty Organizations  Non-Treaty Organizations  Nationally Accepted  Internationally Accepted Examples ISO, IEC, ITU, CODEX, etc. Examples ASTM International, ASME, IEEE, SAE, etc. Examples IGRS, W3C, etc. Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014 2014 ANSI Slide 16

17. Role of NIST in the U.S. Standards System Assure that the measurement capability needed to support commerce in U.S. goods and services exists around the world. Assure that U.S. manufacturers can have access to whatever accreditation or conformity assessment system is required by any country in the world for importation of goods or services. Conduct scientific, technological, and metrological activities to further U.S. foreign policy. Assure that international standards reflect U.S. measurement capabilities to the extent possible. Provide education and training in measurements, standards and measurement and standards systems. Slide 17 Comparison of Standardization Systems: U.S. | April 2, 2014
