Introduction to the Electronic Commerce Code Management Association (ECCMA)

In 1999, Peter Benson founded the Electronic Commerce Code Management Association (ECCMA). A not-for-profit international association committed to improving data quality in the supply chain through the implementation of international standards, its impact has been profound across numerous industries, from mining, oil and gas to construction, manufacturing and healthcare.

Peter and the ECCMA team are known for the initial production and promotion of the UNSPSC as an internationally recognized commodity classification and for the eOTD, an internationally recognized open technical dictionary based on the NATO codification system.

Among ECCMA’s key continuing contributions have been the developments of ISO 8000 and ISO 22745, the international standards for data quality and the exchange of material and service master data.

They are reaching out to manufacturing associations to see if their service is of interest to members in the manufacturing community.
