 The SAWE is now ANSI Accredited

The Society of Allied Weight Engineers is very pleased to announce that it is now an Accredited Standards Developer (ASD) as administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  We were officially provided that status in July of this year [2014]. This means that our society can create standards which will be distributed as ANSI/SAWE Standards.  As ANSI is a member body of the International Standards Organization (ISO), SAWE Standards can also be considered for ISO accreditation during their development process.  To understand the SAWE process required to create an ANSI standard see the freely available publication, Technical Overview document TO-2, “SAWE Procedures as an Accredited Standards Developer with the  American National Standards Institute” https://www.sawe.org/technical/rp/TO2.  The SAWE Standards and Practices Committee hopes that this achievement provides our members and sponsors increased membership value, and stands ready to work with you in advancing the field of Mass Properties Engineering through generation of quality ANSI/SAWE standards.
