The AISI Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members is a consensus group which maintains and updates the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100) and cold-formed steel test procedures. The AISI S100 is the foundation for product lines including steel decking, steel roofing and wall panel systems, metal building systems, storage racks and cold-formed steel framing. The Specification is recognized by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as the American National Standard in the US, by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada, and by Camara Nacional de la Industria del Hierro y del Acero (CANACERO) in Mexico. The test procedures have also been approved by ANSI as the American National Standards.
The mission of the Committee on Specifications is:
Through research and its implementation, develop and maintain a concise, comprehensive and acceptable practice-oriented design specification for safe and economical cold-formed steel structures. Encourage innovative applications and expanded use of cold-formed steel, through education and technical communications.
The Committee on Specifications consists of eleven subcommittees. These subcommittees fulfill the mission established by the Committee on Specifications by monitoring research works related to cold-formed steel design, and providing recommendations for developing and improving design provisions in the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
