Appendix  Non-Government Standards Bodies

The following is a list of NGSBs with at least one active DoD-adopted standard or DoD employee registered in the DoD Technical Committee Participant database.This listing is not meant to be a complete compilation of the hundreds of NGSBs in the U.S. and internationally. DoD uses many other standards from NGSBs that are not on this list, and there are also new NGSBs created every year. For a list of those NGSBs accredited by ANSI, go to www.ansi.org/membership/membership_rosters/org_ members.aspx?menuid=2.The Standards Engineering Society (SES) also maintains a list of NGSBs that includes consortia standards developers and other standards organi-

zations not accredited by ANSI, but widely used.This list can be viewed by clicking on
