Codes and Standards Program

The Codes and Standards Program of ASCE, which is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), develops consensus standards on a variety of topics for the civil engineering profession. ASCE's standards program is regularly audited to ensure compliance with the ASCE Rules for Standards Committees and that it is consistent with the fundamental tenets of ANSI.

The standards committees are grouped by their general subject areas within one of the seven Institutes of ASCE. To locate a specific standards committee please click on the appropriate link below: The ASCE Codes and Standards Committee (CSC) is responsible for enforcing and maintaining ASCE Rules for Standards Committees and the ASCE Standards Writing Manual based on the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due process requirements for American National Standards:
