Each committee is assisted in developing specific standards by subcommittees and working groups. After approval by the parent S committee and by ANSI, the standards are published by the Acoustical Society of America through the American Institute of Physics. The four accredited S Committees also provide U.S. input to various international standards committees: ISO/TC43 Acoustics, IEC/TC29 Electroacoustics, and ISO/TC108 Mechanical Vibration and Shock. The U.S. input is also provided for ISO/TC 94 SC12 Hearing Protection and IEC/SC50A Shock and Vibration Tests. The Standards Secretariat provides administrative support for four independent national standards committees accredited by ANSI. The names, scopes, and membership of these committees as of May 2003 are: S12 Noise. Standards, specifications and
