ANSIAmerican National Standards Institute

The ANSI has served in its capacity as administrator and coordinator of the UnitedStates private sector voluntary standardization system for 81 years.

Founded in 1918 by five engineering societies and three government agencies, theinstitute remains a private, nonprofit membership organization supported by diverseconstituency of private and public sector organisations.

The institute represents the interest of its nearly 1400 company, organisation,government agency, institutional and international members.

ANSI does not itself develop American National Standards; rather it facilitatesdevelopment by establishing consensus among qualified groups.

BSIBritish Standards Institution

British Standard Institution was founded in 1901 to coordinate the development of

national standards.

BSI was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1929.

BSI is a non profit distribution organisation.

BSI remains independent of Government, industry or trade associations.

BIS

Bureau of Indian Standards

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the National Standards Body of India, resolves tobe the leader in all matters concerning Standardization, Certification and Quality.

In order to attain this, the Bureau would strive

To provide efficient timely service.

To satisfy the customers' needs for quality of goods and services.

To work and act in such a way that each task, performed as individuals or ascorporate entity, leads to excellence and enhances the credibility and image of

the Organization.

BIS would achieve these objectives by working in close cooperation with all concernedorganizations and by adopting appropriate management systems, motivating andensuring active participation of all the employees

PURPOSE

The Indian Standards Institution (ISI) was, therefore, set up in 1947 as a registeredsociety, under a Government of India resolution.

The Indian Standards Institution gave the nation the standards it needed fornationalization, orderly industrial and commercial growth, quality production andcompetitive efficiency.

However, in 1986 the government recognized the need for strengthening this NationalStandards Body due to fast changing socio-economic scenario and according it astatutory status. Thus came the Bureau of Indian Standards Act 1986 and on 1 April1987, newly formed BIS took over staff assets, liabilities and functions of erstwhile ISI.
