4. Note: The information contained in this presentation was compiled by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in collaboration with its public and private sector members and also with its international partners. The primary purpose of the chart is to attempt to portray, in high-level, block diagram form, the entities of the standards and conformity assessment systems of the particular economy and their primary inter-relationships and relationships to international and regional organizations – all on one slide. While many organizations have many subdivisions, only those subdivisions most directly related to standards and conformity assessment are shown. The chart is one perspective of the systems, with emphasis on identification and representation of the various entities. The chart would look different if the entities were drawn proportional to their relative work volumes in the systems, or if they were drawn proportional to their respective standards and conformity assessment revenues or budgets. Such a representation will have inaccuracies which will require correction. The chart is a work in progress and we welcome comments and suggestions for consistent improvement for purposes of accuracy and education. Please feel free to reference the information contained in this presentation. We just ask that you please attribute ANSI as the source.
