WASTE EQUIPMENT STANDARDS
WASTEC is the Secretariat for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z245 Committee, which develops all of the equipment safety standards for the waste industry.
Organizations, companies, government agencies, individuals, etc., having a direct and material interest in the activities of the Committee.

WHAT IS A STANDARD?
STANDARDS ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR INNOVATION AND COMPETITIVENESS.
TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, STANDARDS ARE AN IMPERATIVE UNDERTAKINGOUR NATION’S ABILITY TO COMPETE AND LEAD IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING GLOBAL ECONOMY IS CLOSELY RELATED TO OUR LEADERSHIP IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF STANDARDS AND STANDARDIZATION PROCESSES.
STANDARDS PROVIDE THE COMMON LANGUAGE THAT KEEPS DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE FLOWING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO OVERESTIMATE THEIR CRITICAL VALUE TO BOTH THE U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY.
ANSI is a federation that manages the voluntary standards system in the United States.
Coordinate the activities of organizations in the US that do develop standards.
