An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. It's existence of course does not preclude anyone from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes or procedures not conforming to the standard. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) does not develop standards and will not give an interpretation of any American National Standard. These standards are subject to periodic review, and users are reminded to use the latest editions. 

The BOMA Standard for Measuring Office Space is an ANSI Standard, with the latest version approved June 7, 1996 by ANSI.

ANSI requires that "action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw the standard no later than five years from the date of publication". As a result, you will find throughout the history of the BOMA Standard republication dates within every 5 year period.
