Electronic Industries Alliance

The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA, until 1997 Electronic Industries Association) is a trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States. Those associations in turn govern sectors of EIA standards activity.

The associations are:


 * Formerly CEA – The Consumer Electronics Association (As of January 1, 2005 CEA withdrew from its sector affiliation with EIA)
 * ECA – The Electronic Components, Assemblies, and Materials Association
 * GEIA – The Government Electronics and Information Technology Association
 * JEDEC – The JEDEC Solid State Technology division, formerly Joint Electron Devices Engineering Councils
 * TIA – The Telecommunications Industry Association

EIA is accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to help develop standards on electronic components, consumer electronics, electronic information, telecommunications, and Internet security.
