SDC Information

As an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited Standards Developer (ASD) APCO International is dedicated to ensuring public safety communications has a role in the development of standards affecting our industry. APCO's standards development activities have a broad scope, ranging from the actual development of standards to the representation of public safety communications in other standards development areas.

Participation is based on need for particular categories, which are users of public safety equipment and processes, producers of public safety equipment and processes, and those who have a general interest in public safety standards, such as academia, consultants and other governmental agencies.
