For over thirty years ECMA has actively contributed to world-wide standardization in information technology and telecommunications. More than 270 ECMA Standards and 70 Technical Reports of high quality have been published.
The aims of ECMA are:
To develop, in co-operation with the appropriate National, European and International organizations Standards and Technical Reports in order to facilitate and standardize the use of ICT systems.
To encourage the correct use of Standards by influencing the environment in which they are applied.
To promulgate the various Standards that ECMA produces.
To this end, all ECMA Standards and Technical Reports are made available free of charge and copyright to all interested parties without restriction.
