Standards and the ASQ Standards Committee

ASQ's Divisions have always been actively involved with the development of ASQ's quality standards. Without their input, neither ASQ nor the committees it administers could develop standards that reflect the most current technology in quality.

ASQ Divisions are one major source of new ideas for quality standards. Their members serve as the technical experts of ASQ and are aware of trends and practices that indicate where and when a standard might be needed. Through their representatives, ASQ Divisions bring their ideas to the attention of ASQ's Standards Committee.

The ASQ Standards Committee is comprised of an appointed representative from the ASQ Divisions. The Standards Committee discusses ideas and determines the need for future standards. It also works with Divisions that develop new standards or reaffirm/revise existing standards. The ASQ Standards Committee follows the consensus process established by ANSI.
