Standard Bodies
The following are the more prevalent standards organizations with FISD interacts.

Please contact us if there are clarifications about any of the organizations on this page.

List of Standard Bodies:

SC4 (ISO TC 68 Sub Committee 4 - Securities and Related Financial Instruments):

ISO Technical Committee 68 Sub Committee 4 is the organization where most of the standards affecting the securities segment of the financial industry are sponsored into ISO for adoption as an international standard. FISD is a liaison member to SC4. This is where FISD speaks for the market data industry at the international standards level on behalf of FISD's members.

X9D (ANSI X9 D - Securities):

The ANSI (American National Standards Institute) X9 (Accredited Standards Committee) Securities Subcommittee.
ANSI is the United States voting organization for ISO. X9D represents securities in that forum and FISD is a member on behalf of FISD's members. Thus, it is through X9D that FISD votes on international standards.

OASIS:

The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards.
OASIS is a not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards. OASIS is the venue where genericode (Code List Representation) has been developed.
