Original Press Release:
ANSI-HSSP Workshop to Explore Federal Strategy for CBRNE Standards
Reliable chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) countermeasures equipment is essential for the protection of life, health, property, and commerce. With an eye toward this critical aspect of national preparedness, in 2011 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) collaborated with the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Commerce (DOC) to release the National Strategy for CBRNE Standards, outlining the federal vision and goals for the coordination and implementation of CBRNE equipment standards by 2020.
On May 31, 2012, the American National Standards Institute Homeland Security Standards Panel (ANSI-HSSP) will host a Workshop on CBRNE Standards to provide an overview of the national strategy and the status of the related work being done in the federal government.
