EIA standards activities are carried out by sector associations representing the most dynamic and fastest-growing industry in the world. These Associations are:

CEA – The Consumer Electronics Association

ECA – The Electronic Components, Assemblies, and Materials Association

GEIA – The Government Electronics and Information Technology Association

JEDEC – The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association

TIA – The Telecommunications Industry Association

Each of these Sector Associations manages its own standards-setting committees. EIA, the umbrella organization, holds accreditation rights through ANSI, the American National Standards Institute. Any standards committee choosing to develop an American National Standard may process the work through the EIA accreditation. The EIA Standards and Technology department ensures that any standards-setting activities currently underway or planned meet due process and procedural guidelines as laid out in the EIA Manual of Organization and Procedure (EIA EP-20A) and the EIA Legal Guides. Most Sector Association standards are fed through this department for final publishing and distribution via our publications distributor, Global Engineering Documents.

The EIA Standards and Technology Department oversees the EIA's presence in the global standards-setting arena by managing a number of Technical Committee and Subcommittee Secretariats and US Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) sponsored by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the Joint Technical Committee on Information Technology (JTC1) that is a combined effort of the IEC and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
