Electronic Commerce Code Management Association


The Electronic Commerce Code Management Association is an international not for profit membership association founded in 1999 with mission to research, develop and promote better quality data for use in electronic commerce.
The Association first developed the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code as a global commodity classification and went on to develop the ECCMA Open Technical Dictionary to allow the creation and exchange of unambiguous, language independent master data, data that identifies and describes individuals, organizations, locations, goods, services, processes, rules and regulations. The eOTD is based on the Federal Cataloging System and the NATO Codification System, the systems used to manage the world’s largest shared inventory developed by the Department of Defense and members of NATO and used today in over 50 countries.
ECCMA is the project leader for ISO 22745 and ISO 8000.
ECCMA is the American National Standards Institute accredited administrator of the US technical advisory group to ISO Technical Committee 184 Sub Committee 4, a leading ISO technical committee responsible for the development and maintenance of international standards for industrial data.
ECCMA is a Type A Liaison organization to ISO TC 184/SC 4.
