GLENVIEW, Ill. — The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services has achieved accreditation from the American National Standards Institute for its standards development program.
“ANSI commends CAAS for achieving accreditation as a standards developer,” said Lane Hallenbeck, ANSI vice president of accreditation services. “This recognition is a public statement of the value that CAAS places on an open and equitable consensus development process.”
ANSI fosters the U.S. standardization system by accrediting the procedures of standard-setting organizations and subsequently approving individual documents as American National Standards. Over 230 ANSI-Accredited Standards Developers are now engaged in the creation and maintenance of voluntary consensus standards that are being used in virtually every industry sector.
“We are incredibly proud of this achievement which demonstrates CAAS’s ongoing commitment to quality and excellence in standards development,” said CAAS Chair Mark Postma.
As an ANSI-Accredited Standards Developer, CAAS may now submit its standards for approval as American National Standards.
