The organization was originally founded in 1961 to standardize computer systems in Europe. Membership is open to companies that produce, market or develop computer or communication systems in Europe. It is located in Geneva . AIMS The aims of Ecma International 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 Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Consumer Electronics (CE); encourage the correct use of Standards by influencing the environment in which they are applied; and publish these Standards and Technical Reports in electronic and printed form; the publications can be freely copied by all interested parties without restrictions.
