ANSI Accreditation

AHAM maintains its status as an ANSI accredited Standards Developing Organization and submits many of its standards to ANSI for approval as American National Standards.  Each standard that gains ANSI recognition bears the ANSI/AHAM designation in the title of the standard. ANSI approval signifies that the standards have had the appropriate peer review and that the principles of consensus, due process and openness were followed during the development process.   AHAM’s procedures for developing consensus for the approval, reaffirmation, revision and withdrawal of its American National Standards are documented in  the AHAM Procedures for Approval of AHAM standards as American National Standards.
