Code Management Association (dba ECCMA)

The Code Management Association (ECCMA) was founded in 1999 as an international not-for-profit membership association.

ECCMA is a Standards Development Organization (SDO) recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

ECCMA is a Category A liaison to ISO and the ANSI appointed administrator of the US Technical Advisory Group to the ISO committees ISO/TC 184 (Automation systems and integration), SC 4 (Industrial data) and SC 5 (Interoperability, integration, and architectures for enterprise systems and automation applications).

ECCMA provides its members with data driven strategic sourcing and supply chain digital transformation through international standards.

ECCMA is the current project leader for the development of ISO 8000 and ISO 22745, which are the international standards for data quality and the exchange of material and service master data.

ECCMA provides a platform for collaboration amongst subject experts on data quality and data governance around the world to build and maintain global, open standard dictionaries that are used to unambiguously label information. The existence of these dictionaries of labels allows information to be passed from one computer system to another without losing meaning.
