Which organization accredits entities to develop American National Standards?

ASTM International
FM Approvals
ANSI
ASHRAE

The correct answer is: ANSI

The organization responsible for accrediting entities that develop American National Standards is the American National Standards Institute, commonly known as ANSI. ANSI plays a crucial role in ensuring that the national standards development process is fair, balanced, and consensus-based. This accreditation confirms that standards are developed in accordance with ANSI's procedures, which include consideration of input from various stakeholders, including industry, government, and consumer representatives. ANSI's leadership in the standardization process makes it an essential facilitator for consensus standards across multiple sectors. While ASTM International, FM Approvals, and ASHRAE are significant organizations involved in the development of standards in their respective fields, they do not have the same overarching authority to accredit other entities to develop American National Standards as ANSI does.
