Standards

TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop voluntary industry standards for a wide variety of telecommunications products. TIA's Standards and Technology Department is comprised of ten technology areas which sponsor more than 70 standards formulating groups.

 

A major function of this work is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications, the formulation of positions for presentation on behalf of the United States in international standards form, and the preparation of technical information and reports for use by industry and government. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees.

 

TIA Member companies have access to participate in all of TIA's committees and are provided with a 25% discount on retail copies of standards and site licenses.
