API Standards Development Process
API is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Regular API Standards program audits (conducted by ANSI)
Open and transparent process (anyone can comment on any document)
All comments and objections must be considered
33
Standards Development ProcessDeveloped by consensus (does not mean
unanimity)
Committee balance between users, manufacturers and contractors/consultants
Standards developed using ANSI approved API Standards Development Procedures (available on-line at www.api.org)
API corporate membership is not a requirement for participation on API standardization committees
44
Standards Development ProcessStandards group has oversight for
ensuring conformance with the applicable procedures, facilitating meetings, and assisting in resolution of comments/conflicts
Open Process - Seek representation from all interest groups: member companies, other trade organizations, government, consultants, etc.

API Also Provides Support to the International
Standards CommunityAPI is involved in international
standardization via ANSI– Secretariat for two main industry
committees, TC 28 and TC 67– Secretariat for US Technical Advisory
Groups for both Technical Committees

API Standards Committee Operations API Standards Committees usually meet twice a
year: Oversight Committees (ECS, COPM, CRE)
meet to monitor work program Subgroups (task forces, resource groups)
meet as needed to progress work, often in conference calls or web meetings
All standards balloting is done via the web
API-AGA Joint Committee usually meets once a year: 8 Subcommittees meet at the plenary meeting and additional meetings as needed
