American non-profit civil standardization group.

ANSI Z87.1 is the American Practice for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection developed by the American National Standards Institute.

With the participation of three government agencies, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Department of the Army, and Department of the Navy, *** jointly initiated the establishment of the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).

In 1928, AESC was reorganized into the American Standards Association (ASA). In August 1966, it was reorganized into the United States Standards Institute (USASI). It was changed to its current name on October 6, 1969.

Extended information: The American National Standards Institute is a non-profit private standardization organization.

But it has actually become the national standardization center; standardization activities from all walks of life revolve around it.

Through it, government-related systems and private systems cooperate with each other, and it serves as a bridge between the federal government and private standardization systems.

It coordinates and guides national standardization activities, provides assistance to standard formulation, research and application units, and provides domestic and foreign standardization information.

It also serves as an administrative agency.

ANSI currently has about 200 industrial, association and other group members, and about 1,400 company (enterprise) members.

Its funding comes from membership fees and sales of standard materials, without government funds.

The leadership body is the board of directors composed of the chairman, vice chairman and 50 senior business representatives, which exercises leadership power.

When the board of directors is not in session, the executive committee exercises its powers, and the executive committee has a standards review committee composed of 15 people.

Headquarters are in New York, with satellite offices in Washington.
