The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has released its 2023-2024 annual report highlighting recent accomplishments of the Institute, its affiliates, and the ANSI Federation that drive responsive solutions and enhance the critical work being done across the standardization system.

The theme of this year’s Annual Report, Ever Forward, showcases ANSI’s efforts to amplify, enhance, and leverage a century-long partnership of the private and public sectors. These efforts are driving progress and moving our communities in a positive and safer direction.

ANSI’s Annual Report 2023–2024: Ever Forward offers insights into diverse program areas, with interactive features, images, links, and videos. Highlights of the web-based report include:

  • Plans for the 2025 review and update of the United States Standards Strategy (USSS)

  • ANSI’s education and awareness campaign about challenges to copyright protection for standards incorporated by reference

  • A report detailing public-private partnership models to accelerate standardization activities for critical and emerging technologies

  • International development partnerships that support solutions for a safer world and infographics on U.S. engagement in ISO and IEC

  • Brand-new and expanded resources, including the International Policy and Standards Alert, ANSI in Africa Newsletter, ANSI in China Newsletter, Standards Boost Business, and Standardization New of Note

“Many of our recent efforts continue to be directly tied to the evolving standards landscape, the public-private partnership, and critical and emerging technologies,” said Joe Bhatia, ANSI president and CEO. “But ANSI is much more than futuristic tech. Our community is working just as hard to tackle some of humanity's greatest challenges in health, safety, and the environment.”
