Since 1961 and continuing in full force today, Ecma International facilitates the timely creation of a wide range of global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Consumer Electronics (CE) standards, for:

• Programming Languages;
• ECMAScript;
• Business Communications;
• Near Field Communications;
• High Rate Wireless Communications;
• Product Safety;
• Environmental Design Considerations;
• Acoustics
• Electromagnetic Compatibilty (EMC);
• Optical Storage;
• Universal 3D open file format;
• Office Open XML Formats;
• Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS).

Ecma has been involved in the development of the concept of "fast tracking" in ISO/IEC JTC 1 and - since its introduction in 1986 - it has been one of the main practitioners of it.

Ecma is driven by industry to meet the needs of industry, generating a healthy competitive landscape based on differentiation of products and services, rather than technology models, generating confidence among vendors and users of new technology.
