IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

IEEE, pronounced "Eye-triple-E," stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The association is chartered under this name and it is the full legal name



Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. (UL)


Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. (UL) is an independent, not-for-profit product safety certification organization that has been testing products and writing safety standards since 1894.


Annually, UL evaluates more than 19,000 types of products, components, materials and systems with 21 billion UL marks appearing on 71,000 manufacturers' products each year.


ULs' mission is to promote safe living and working environments by the application of safety science and hazard-based safety engineering. This is supported by 127 inspection centers, 66 laboratory, testing and certification facilities and a staff of 6,200.



The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)


The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is an international nonprofit organization founded in 1896 and headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts. NFPA membership totals more than 81,000 individuals and more than 80 national trade and professional organizations.


NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other life quality altering hazards by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training and education.


NFPA's 300 codes and standards influence every building, process, service, design and installation in the U.S. and many of those used in other countries. The National Electric Code (NFPA 70), Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) and Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code (NFPA 30) are widely used.



American National Standards Institute (ANSI)


The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a diversified and unique nonprofit organization that includes industry, standards developing organizations, trade associations, professional and technical societies, government, labor and consumer groups.


ANSI was formed originally as the American Engineering Standards Committee on October 19, 1918.


ANSI's mission is to enhance both the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the U.S. quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems.



FM Global


FM (Factory Mutual) Global is one of the world's largest commercial and industrial property insurance and risk management organizations specializing in property protection. It was formed in 1835 by Zachariah Allen, who felt the need for an industrial insurance group to focus on loss control.


FM Global has six business units and each unit helps its clients manage their property risks through a variety of products and services.


The FM Approvals business unit certifies industrial and commercial products and services.


When a product or service meets FM Approvals' standards, it is issued the FM Approved mark to signify it will perform as expected and support property loss prevention.


The FM Approvals business unit backs its evaluations with scientific research and testing and lists more than 45,000 certified products in its approval guide.

ASTM International


ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), was formed in 1898, when a group of engineers and scientists got together to address frequent rail breaks. Their work led to standardization on the steel used in railroad construction.


ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization that provides a forum for the development and publication of voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems and services. It is one of the largest voluntary standards developing organizations in the world.


Standards developed at ASTM International are the work of over 30,000 members. These technical experts represent producers, users, consumers, government and academia from over 120 countries.


Members belong to one or more committees, each of which covers a subject area. These committees develop more than 12,000 ASTM International standards that can be found in the 77-volume Annual Book of ASTM standards.



Safety Equipment Institute (SEI)


The Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) was organized in 1981 and is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. It is a private, nonprofit organization with third-party certification programs to test and certify a wide array of safety equipment. SEI's certification programs are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in accordance with the standard, ISO Guide 65, General Requirements for Bodies Operating Product Certification Systems.


SEI certification programs include on-going product testing and quality assurance audits of product models voluntarily submitted by manufacturers.


All product testing is done in accordance with the selected voluntary, government or other standards available for the given product.


SEI will certify the manufacturer's product model and grant the right to use the SEI certification label when:

(1) the testing lab has determined that the product model has been tested and successfully meets the appropriate product standard.
(2) the quality assurance auditor has determined that the manufacturer complies with SEI quality assurance requirements.


SEI publishes a certified product list and it is continuously updated to reflect the latest information.


SEI DOES NOT offer a warranty for the performance of the product, but having a product certified by SEI shows that the manufacturer is taking responsibility for producing a quality product.



Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)


OSHA standards are rules that describe the methods employers are legally required to follow to protect their workers from hazards. Before OSHA can issue a standard, it must go through a very extensive and lengthy process that includes substantial public engagement, notice and comment. The agency must show that a significant risk to workers exists and that there are feasible measures employers can take to protect their workers.


Construction, General Industry, Maritime, and Agriculture standards protect workers from a wide range of serious hazards. These standards limit the amount of hazardous chemicals workers can be exposed to, require the use of certain safe practices and equipment, and require employers to monitor certain workplace hazards.



ONVIF


ONVIF's focus on true interoperability provides membership benefits for manufacturers as well as end users, integrators and specifiers. A non-profit organization, ONVIF is open to all companies and interest groups who would like to participate in the goal of creating a global standard for IP-based physical security.


ONVIF is already supported by the majority of the largest network video manufacturers, representing device manufacturers, integrators and Video Management Systems companies. The organization's member base gives an indication of what we can expect - a multitude of ONVIF conformant products on the market, in all parts of the world.



Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA)


At the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance, we think security system and device integration should be as simple as the “plug and play” interoperability we take for granted with our computers, laptops, smartphones, televisions, stereo systems and more.


That is our goal at the PSIA. Here, the leading international manufacturers in every IP-enabled security device and system category combine efforts with consultants, integrators and end users to develop interoperability specifications. Our focus is on how devices, services and systems can easily share among themselves the information and intelligence they generate.



National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)


The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers.
