Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and
5、 other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple major
