AIM Industry Groups
AIM has been creating and maintaining standards for over 35 years. AIM is often responsible for “the first step” in the creation of standards for the industry. AIM standards are the result of significant work by one or more of the technical workgroups which make up AIM’s industry groups. The final product from the industry groups can take the form of:
- Technical Report
- Technical Specification
- Implementation Guide
