ANSI-HSSP Signs Treaty with Australia's NCSS

December 22, 2005

The American National Standards Institute's Homeland Security Standards Panel (ANSI-HSSP) agreed to cooperate with Standards Australia's National Centre for Security Standards (NCSS) in the development of security standards covering topics such as terrorism, natural disasters and criminal activity.

ANSI-HSSP and NCSS will collaborate to create an integrated security standards framework that will help concerned parties find useful and relevant guidance materials. The treaty allows an open dialog between the organizations for the exchange of information relating to market trends and collaboration on the creation of national security documents and infrastructure protection. The organizations will convene at least once every year to identify and explore mutually beneficial projects and programs.
