The Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) is currently developing Proposed American National Standard AWI 0100 - Submittals.
Purpose: Provide a standard for communicating interpretation of design intent of architectural woodwork and related interior finishes.
Scope: Submittals are the means by which the design intent is communicated and illustrated and shall contain items documented herein.
This standard was revised by AWI Professional Staff based on the Primer AWI Standard. The AWI Technical Committee (AWI TC) and Subject Expert Review Team (SERT) reviewed the content and updated the standard.
AWI is preparing to begin the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) process, during which the standard will be opened for public comment and consensus. At the completion of this process, AWI’s Technical Committee will address any comments or suggestions submitted.
Commentary regarding the Proposed American National Standard AWI 0100 - Submittals draft must be submitted through the Official Letter Ballot (for members of the consensus body) or Public Comment Form (for all other parties) linked below for the purpose of AWI record keeping in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements. Commentary on the standard submitted outside of this format will not be considered.

The Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) has produced and collaborated on the development of standards in accordance with its mission since its founding in 1953 to the present day. AWI is an ANSI-accredited Standards Developer Organization. AWI’s mission is to continually improve Standards for architectural woodwork and related interior finishes, provide education and opportunities for collaborating and sharing resources, improve AWI’s member benefits, and cultivate and strengthen relationships within the industry.
Founded in 1918, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system and is committed to strengthening its impact, both domestically and internationally. The Institute represents the diverse interests of more than 270,000 companies and organizations, and 30 million professionals worldwide.
ANSI facilitates the development of American National Standards (ANS) by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations (SDOs) and approving their documents as American National Standards (ANS). This process serves and protects the public interest since standards developers accredited by ANSI – and the ANS they develop – must meet the Institute’s requirements for openness, balance, consensus, and due process and adhere to ANSI's neutral oversight, assuring that all interested parties have an opportunity to participate in a standard’s development.
