Information technology and applications standards committee
The standards committee for information technology and applications ( DIN NIA ) is part of the German Institute for Standardization e. V. (DIN) based in Berlin . With respect to the standardization work of DIN he is with his organs, the official national body for standardization and standardization in information technology and in selected areas of application of information technology.
More than 500 experts from all parts of the IT industry, from research and teaching as well as from the public sector pursue the goal of promoting the development of the information society by creating market-driven and application-relevant norms and standards.
standardization
The national standardization work of the DIN NIA includes the creation of DIN standards in full and partial consensus.
The majority of the results of international standardization work in DIN NIA are published as ISO / IEC standards. From this, individual international standards are also adopted as DIN ISO / IEC standards in the German body of standards and translated both as a whole or only in part.
Work area
The work area of the DIN NIA includes norms and standardization in information technology and in selected application areas of information technology. This area of work emerged from the merger of the former Information Technology Standards Committee (DIN NI) with the former Office Management Standards Committee (DIN NBü).
The information technology standards managed within the bodies of DIN NIA pursue the goal of improving the performance and quality of IT systems, increasing the security of IT systems and data, supporting the portability of application programs, and the interoperability of IT products and systems, to standardize the development environments and to make the user interfaces ergonomic. Other application areas of information technology that are processed in DIN NIA include office organization and office technology , postal services , banking , electronic business and the exchange of data and information in the administrative and logistical chain of goods traffic in the consumer goods industry .
structure
The DIN NIA has around 26 active working committees. These working bodies, which are organized according to technical committees, and their respective subdivisions (working committees AA, sub-working committees UA, working groups AK) decide on their composition themselves and carry out the actual standardization work via the authorized experts. A balanced representation of all interested groups or authorizing bodies from authorities, industry, business, research and teaching as well as consumer representatives should always be ensured in accordance with DIN 820 and the rules of procedure of the DIN NIA.

In addition to these national working bodies, DIN NIA is primarily responsible for the following European and international secretariats and provides the full-time contact persons and the necessary infrastructure:
- ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 17 / WG 8: Contactless integrated circuit cards
- ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 27: IT Security Techniques
- ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 27 / WG 5: Identity management and privacy technologies
- ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 37 / WG 3: Biometric Data Interchange Formats
- ISO / TC 154 / JWG 1: Joint Syntax Working Group (with UN / ECE)
- ISO / TC 154 / JWG 4: eLK (electronic Layout Key) (with UN / CEFACT)
For those sub-committees of ISO / IEC JTC 1 and their areas of work in which the DIN NIA does not have a mirror committee due to the lack of participation by German circles, the DIN NIA appoints individual persons as rapporteurs who belong to the DIN NIA joint steering committee (NIA-GLA) and are required to report to this steering body.
The highest steering committee of the DIN NIA is the NIA-GLA. It includes the functionaries of the DIN NIA steering committees (chairmen, deputies, managing directors), representatives of the NIA support group, the representatives of the working committees, the representatives of the DKE and the NAM, as well as personalities elected to the field of DIN NIA-GLA.
