The CIPA Standardization Committee acts aggressively with worldwide consumers and their profits in mind.
With the advancement and diversification of technology, products with totally different specifications, even those used for the same purpose, are put on the market and consequently cause confusion and trouble to consumers.
To avoid this situation, standardization that is promoted by international standardization organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is required.
International standardization of the standards established within the domestic industry fortifies the competitive strength of the domestic industry.
Almost all digital cameras have adopted "Exif/DCF," which Japan proposed to make an ISO standard. The unified standards for imaging have contributed to the popularization of digital cameras.
As a matter of national policy, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry focuses on International Standardization Activities for the development of the domestic industry.
To promote international standardization in photography, CIPA also collaborates with I3A (International Imaging Industry Association), which is an association for photography in the United States.
The Japanese representative organization in International Standardization Activities is the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC). The JISC entrust the deliberations on international standardization in the field of photography to the ISO/TC42 Domestic Council.
