American
National
Standard
Approval of an American National Standard requires verification
by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and
other criteria for approval have been met by the standards
developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI
Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been
reached by directly and materially affected interests.
Substantial agreement means much more than a simple
majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires
that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted
effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary;
their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether
he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing,
marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or
procedures not conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop
standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of
any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall
have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an
American National Standard in the name of the American
National Standard Institute. Requests for interpretations should
be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears
on the title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be
revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the
American National Standards Institute require that action be
taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.
Purchases of American National Standards may receive current
information on all standard by calling or writing the American
National Standards Institute.
NOTE – The user’s attention is called to the possibility that compliance with this standard
may require use of an invention covered by patent rights.
By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of this
claim or of any patent rights in connection therewith. The patent holder has, however,
filed a statement of willingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and
nondiscriminatory terms and conditions to applicants desiring to obtain such a license.
Details may be obtained from the standards developer.
