4: Conformity Assessment
To define ANSI's strategic conformity assessment objectives in accordance with member needs and facilitate their implementation. Other Information:
During development of the National Standards Strategy, it was agreed that the subject of conformity assessment would be addressed
separately. Conformity assessment is an important aspect of ANSI’s work, and thus, in September 2002, the ANSI Board approved
the National Conformity Assessment Principles (NCAP), a document that combines principles, activities and definitions in a
manner that describes conformity assessment expectations for the United States. ANSI continues to encourage sufficient and
effective volunteer leadership to serve on conformity assessment governance bodies, in order to provide leadership for U.S.
views on conformity assessment, as well as to provide strategic direction, oversight and support to our accreditation programs.
On the international front, ANSI continues to support its international conformity assessment objectives as the U.S. representative
on the ISO Conformity Assessment Committee (CASCO).
