Standards Institute Set to Serve Consumers
"The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is uniquely qualified to respond to the challenge of the Consumer Product Safety Act and welcomes the opportunity to be of service to the consumer, industry and government," institute president Roy P. Trowbridge has declared.
Trowbridge announced the formation of a new committee of ANSI's board of directors. The committee is composed of leading product safety experts drawn from consumer groups, manufacturers, retailers, government, labor, the professions and general interest groups.
"An ANSI special committee studied the bill months before its passage on October 27," Trowbridge said, "and concluded that ANSI should set up a unique new, mission-oriented function aimed at assuring full utilization of the voluntary standards-making community in developing product safety standards required by the new act."
