The American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standards Committee develops standards in accordance with the accredited organization method for developing evidence of consensus for their approval as American National Standards. Rules for accreditation of the ANS Standards Committee were approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on March 14, 1985. More than 800 volunteers participate in the development of ANS-sponsored nuclear standards, of which there are about 125 in various phases of development. As of mid-1996, there were 103 approved American National Standards offered for sale.
