Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute
AHRI develops and publishes technical standards for industry products. AHRI standards establish rating criteria and procedures for measuring and certifying product performance. In this way, products are rated on a uniform basis, so that buyers and users can properly make selections for specific applications. The more than 60 standards now published are mainly performance-rating standards, although some are application or terminology standards. Many AHRI standards are accepted as American National Standards.

American National Standards Institute Online
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private, nonprofit organization that facilitates the development of voluntary national consensus standards. ANSI promotes the use of U.S. standards internationally, advocates U.S. policy and technical positions in international and regional standards organizations, and encourages the adoption of international standards as national standards where these meet the needs of the user community. ANSI is the sole U.S. representative and dues-paying member of the two major non-treaty international standards organizations-the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and, via the U.S. National Committee (USNC), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers
ASHRAE standards and guidelines include uniform methods of testing for rating purposes, describe recommended practices in designing and installing equipment and provide other information to guide the industry. ASHRAE has some 87 active standards and guideline project committees, addressing broad areas such as indoor air quality, thermal comfort, energy conservation in buildings, reducing refrigerant emissions, and the designation and safety classification of refrigerants.

Department of Energy (DOE) Technical Standards
The Department of Energy’s Technical Standards Web site contains a great range of handbooks designed to bring a consensus of standards, to develop needed technical standards that are not readily available, and to communicate these standards to those who use them. A search function allows users to sift through the large amount of information here to access the sections most useful to them. The approved and draft DOE technical standards are provided in one or both of the following formats: browse-able HTML versions that can be viewed through your World Wide Web browser or PDF files that can be viewed and printed through Acrobat Reader. The mission is to enhance DOE’s transition to a standards-based culture by providing information, coordinating activities, and promoting the use of consensus standards, and when needed, the development of DOE technical standards.

Department of Defense Single Stock Point for Military Specifications, Standards, and Related Publications
This site provides ordering access to the DoDSSP’s extensive collection of Standardization Documents and related publications. The Department of Defense Single Stock Point was created to centralize the control, distribution, and access to the extensive collection of Military Specifications, Standards, and related standardization documents either prepared or adopted by the DoD.

ISO Online
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization established in 1947. The mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO maintains a searchable online catalogue of international standards. First time users may want to read the tutorial on how to use the catalogue.

National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) develops and promotes technical standards used in a wide variety of information services. NISO is a nonprofit association accredited as a standards developer by the American National Standards Institute, the national clearinghouse for voluntary standards development in the U.S. All NISO standards and technical reports can now be downloaded as PDF files for no charge from the NISO website. Landmark technical standards that are the basis for library systems and services, such as Z38.50 (Information Retrieval), Z39.2 (the basis for the MARC record), and the standard for paper permanence (Z39.48) are just a few of the NISO publications you can now access for free- anytime, anywhere. Click on the NISO Press icon, and then click on Standards, Books and Software. You can search for the title you want or review a list of all the approved and published NISO standards and technical reports.

National Institute of Standards and Technology
An agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Technology Administration, NIST strengthens the U.S. economy and improves the quality of life by working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards.
