The American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) international policy department has released a new issue of its International Policy and Standards Alert (IPSA), an email digest for ANSI members that offers a concise snapshot of key policy initiatives around the world that can impact standardization.

To receive the latest digest and subscribe for future issues, ANSI members can email intl@ansi.org.

The first IPSA was initially shared with the ANSI International Policy Advisory Group (IPAG) on March 5, 2024, and is sent out at least once a trimester (with additional issues as needed). Past editions can be viewed by ANSI members here.

Headlines from the IPSA include:
