Who Develops Standards for Electronic Data Interchange?

Friday, June 19th, 2009

EDI plays a critical role in operating a business in today’s globalized economy. To facilitate the electronic exchange of business information, standards have to be developed.

In the U.S., these standards are referred to as ASC-X12 and are developed by a group of the same name chartered in 1979 by the American National Standards Association. X12 facilitates electronic business transactions by establishing a common, uniform language.

These EDI standards make it possible to conduct nearly all B2B transactions over a computer – in fact, there are over 275 unique transaction sets for a wide variety of industries.

The ASC-X12 committee is broken down into five different subcommittees: Communications and Control, Finance, Government, Insurance and Transportation.
