Standards

Forging diverse opinions into consensus through a voluntary democratic process.

When you need to standardize an approach to a building industry issue, Home Innovation Research Labs has the experience and expertise you need. Accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an independent third-party administrator, we provide an assurance that your standard will bear the most prestigious designation available – the American National Standard (ANS).

As an accredited standard development organization, Home Innovation Labs will ensure your standard withstands the test of legitimacy that the rigorous ANSI process bestows. We’ll ensure that participation is open to interested stakeholders, interests are balanced, the decision-making process will not be dominated by any party, public input will be sought, and appeals will be heard. In short, we will ensure that your standard truly represents a consensus and has the influence and impact it deserves.
