Mission

To enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the American quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems and ensuring their integrity.

A Private- and Public-Sector Partnership Since 1918


• Academia • Individuals • Government • Companies • Trade Associations

A Federation A Federation of members representing . . .of members representing . . .

• Professional Societies • Service Organizations • Standards Developers • Consumer and Labor Interests• and many more.

Bringing the Private- & Public-Sectors Together Since 1918Bringing the Private- & Public-Sectors Together Since 1918


ANSI is . . . an “umbrella” organization for the U.S. voluntary

consensus standards community a private-sector led and public-sector supported

standards coordination body a not-for-profit organization

ANSI is not . . . a standards development organization (SDO) a government agency


ANSI’s roles and responsibilities are to: accredit U.S. Standards Developers, U.S. Technical

Advisory Groups and conformity assessment systems ensure integrity of the U.S. voluntary consensus

standards system by audit of SDOs and appeals process

provide regional and international access respond to urgent national priorities offer a neutral policy forum for standards

coordination issues


Background:Background:Standards Coordination Needed Standards Coordination Needed

The National Strategy for Homeland Security (July 2002) identified the need for standards to support homeland security (HS) and emergency preparedness

January 2, 2003 Report for Congress states: “Neither the federal government, nor the nongovernmental sector presently has a comprehensive, consolidated program for developing new preparedness standards.”


ANSI Forms Homeland Security ANSI Forms Homeland Security Standards Panel (HSSP)Standards Panel (HSSP)

February 5, 2003: Formation of HSSP announced Emphasis on:

promoting and facilitating a cooperative partnership between the public and private sectors

HSSP Co-chairs to be provided by ANSI and government providing the venue where each agrees to cooperate recognizing the significant work that is already

underway or that has been completed by a vast array of standards-setting bodies

coordinating and facilitating interoperability among the many homeland security standards solutions being proposed


HSSP HSSP (continued)(continued)

For planning purposes, a model based on the ANSI Information Infrastructure Standards Panel (IISP) An ANSI-sponsored group formed in the mid-1990’s

to identify requirements for the emerging U.S. Information Technology infrastructure (“Information Superhighway”)

Relies upon an expansive, open and well-tested network to align standardization experts with urgent national priorities.

Recognizes need to be flexible as standards needs change

HSSP Roles HSSP Roles

Facilitate the development and enhancement of HS, critical infrastructure protection, and emergency preparedness standards

Serve as private/public sector forum for standards issues that cut cross-sector

A forum for information sharing on HS standards issues Will not itself develop standards Not a “gatekeeper” for access to DHS or other agencies


HSSP TasksHSSP Tasks

Continue to actively solicit participation from industry sectors and groups traditionally outside the voluntary standards system (e.g., fora/consortia)

Identify current work and identify unmet needs Catalogue existing standards/projects to facilitate

standards development in various homeland security-related focus areas where they do not exist

Establish and maintain an online database of reported HS standards/projects -- a portal to HS standards information, especially for the non-traditional standards user


Main Actions TakenMain Actions Taken

Outreach to solicit participation and to begin gathering data about existing standards A questionnaire was distributed to nearly 300 standards

developers on February 3, 2003 Recipients were encouraged to promulgate the survey to other

interested parties, especially non-traditional standards-setting bodies such as consortia

Substantial number of responses received; more arriving daily. Currently being catalogued.

Press Releases and Presentations at Conferences to reach others (i.e., non-ANSI)


Actions Taken Actions Taken (continued)(continued)

Development of HSSP website (www.ansi.org/hssp) and Homeland Security portal on ANSI Online

Meetings with staff of the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies, groups

Formation of Interim Steering Committee (ISC) as a planning group to discuss overall structure for the HSSP going forward Initially comprising representatives from each of the Target

areas identified in the National Strategy for Homeland Security

Named by ANSI:Dr. Robert Hermann, former chairman of the

ANSI Board, retired in 1998 from United Technologies Corporation, senior vice president, science and technology. Prior to UTC, Dr. Hermann served 20 years with the National Security Agency, R&D, operations, and NATO. Was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Communications, Command, Control and Intelligence, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for R&D and logistics, and former Director of the NRO.

David McCurdy, president of the Electronic Industries Alliance and executive director of the Internet Security Alliance, served for fourteen years (1981-1995) in the U.S. House of Representatives (D-OK). As chairman the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he prepared the budget and conducted oversight of the multibillion dollar intelligence community and led a drive to reorganize that community.
