English term or phrase: ANZI and other authorities - German equivalent
I am looking for the set terms for US-American authorities such as ASTM and CPSC. (This is in an agreement on import/export.) I am sure someone here knows where to find them. Thanks...

And - is there anything called ANZI in this connection (mentioned along EU, so it does not seem to be American), or is it just misspelled for ANSI?
thanks
Anne

ANSI und andere normsetzende oder Akkreditierungsbehörden
Explanation:
Das American National Standards Institute ANSI (1919–1928 AESC, American Engineering Standards Committee, 1928–1966 ASA, American Standards Association) ist die amerikanische Stelle zur Normung industrieller Verfahrensweisen. Es ist Mitglied in der Internationalen Organisation für Normung (ISO). Das deutsche Pendant ist das Deutsche Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN).
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansi

Anmerkung: aus meiner beruflichen Erfahrung weiß ich, das ANSI auch eine Akkreditierungsbehörde ist, bei der Prüflabors und Prüfinstitute (z.B. amerikanische: UL, ETL, FM, z.B. europäische: VDE, TÜV) akkreditiert werden müssen, wenn sie entsprechende Prüfungen für USA durchführen wollen.

The American National Standards Institute or ANSI (pronounced /ˈænsiː/) is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards so that American products can be used worldwide. For example, standards make sure that people who own cameras can find the film they need for that camera anywhere around the globe.

ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of standards developing organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards.[3]

The organization's headquarters are in Washington, DC. ANSI's operations office is located in New York City. The ANSI annual operating budget is funded by the sale of publications, membership dues and fees, accreditation services, fee-based programs, and international standards programs.

Anmerkung: Die Abkürzung ANZI kennt http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com nicht. Also ein eindeutiger Tippfehler, zumal die Beschreibung sehr gut auf ANSI passt.

ANZI seems to be a typo

And, by the way, just one term per question ;-)
