The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) awarded the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Registry accreditation for the next five years.

ASCP is a certification agency for clinical laboratory personnel and ANSI is the sole US representative of the two major non-treaty international standards organizations, International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission.

ANSI assesses conformity to an international standard (ISO/IEC, 17024) for the recognition of certification bodies at the national and international level. ASCP was only approved after undergoing a rigorous quality review.
