Performance Standards

InfoComm performance standards are fundamental design criteria and engineering principles that are used as the basis to create quality audiovisual systems. InfoComm’s performance standards program is designed to:

  • Provide industry output standards that audiovisual professionals can build their systems to meet
  • Provide customers with clear and reliable industry standards

Standards Development Organization (SDO)
InfoComm International is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Developing Organization (SDO). Accreditation by ANSI signifies that the procedures used by the standards body in connection with the development of American National Standards meet the Institute’s essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due process.

Performance Standards Committee
The ANSI standards development process involves groups that work cooperatively to develop voluntary national consensus standards. InfoComm’s Board of Directors established a Standards Committee, chaired by Scott Walker, CTS-D, LEED® AP of Waveguide Consulting, Inc., in 2006 to start working on performance standards. There are now more than 70 volunteers involved in task forces discussing various standards.

Would you like to become more involved in the performance standards development process? To volunteer, or for more information, please contact standards@infocomm.org.

Performance Standards Initiatives
There are currently four performance standards in different stages of development:
