About ASA:
ASA is the ANSI Standards Developer for the S1, S2, S3 and S12 series of standards on acoustics, bioacoustics, noise and mechanical vibration and shock. Additionally ASA operates as the U.S. TAG (Technical Advisory Group) for two ISO Technical Committees (TCs) and one IEC TC. And in addition to standards, ASA publishes a journal (JASA, the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America) and other technical publications.
ASA was formed back in 1929 in New York, NY. Currently it has about 7500 members from around the world. They specialize in various fields related to sound including physics, electrical, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering, oceanography, biology, physiology, psychology, architecture, speech, noise and noise control, and music. So standards development can be on topics that include terminology, measurement procedures, and criteria for determining the effects of noise and vibration.
