Approved Standards
The list of approved standards are projects that were developed using
the national process as defined by the INCITS procedures. These are the
projects that are designed as "INCITS.xxx". Published standards are
available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or
through the INCITS store via Techstreet.
Additional information for the development of national standards can be
found in the INCITS/RD-2.
- INCITS Adopted
Standards
Given the responsibilities and the expenditures associated with U.S.
participation in international standards activities, INCITS considers
participation as a "P" member of ISO/IEC JTC 1, as a declaration of
support for the international committee’s technical work. Accordingly,
INCITS will adopt as “Identical”2 American National Standards all
ISO/IEC or ISO standards that fall within its program of work.
Similarly, INCITS will withdraw any such adopted American National
Standard that has been withdrawn as an ISO/IEC or ISO International
Standards. Exceptions to this policy will be made, on a case by case
basis, provided that a case for the exception has been demonstrated to
INCITS.
To implement this policy, INCITS shall follow the “Expedited Procedures
for the Identical Adoption of an ISO or IEC standard as an American
National Standard”3. Additional information for the adoption of
international standards can be found in the INCITS/RD-1.

Stabilized Standards
Whenever it is determined that a standard has ongoing validity and
effectiveness, but is mature and unlikely to require maintenance of any
sort, it can be designated as a stabilized standard that removes the
requirement for periodic reaffirmation.
In order for a standard to be declared a stabilized standard, the
following criteria shall be met:
a. the standard addresses mature technology or practices, and as a
result is not likely to require revision; and
b. the standard is other than safety or health related; and
c. the standard currently holds that status of American National
Standard and has been reaffirmed at least once; and
d. at least ten years have passed since the approval or last revision
of the standard as an ANS; and
e. the standard is required for use in connection with existing
implementations or for reference purposes.
Additional information for the
stabilization of national standards can be found in the INCITS/RD-2.
