Tasks in the field of infrastructure design and installation are normally undertaken according to the requirements of a contract which specifies the application of a combination of the following:
manufacturers/suppliers instructions;
industry recommendations;
national, European or international
standards.

The TIA-B, in conjunction with its hosts, is in a position to provide industry recommendations and guidance to meet the rapidly changing demands of telecommunications infrastructure. However, longer term stability is provided by standardisation and the TIA-B is directly involved with standards bodies in the UK which shape the national, European or international standards.

The commitees shown on the right are responsible not only for the production of British Standards but also for the development of relevant standards at European and international standards.

FIA Technical Director, Mike Gilmore, has produced additional information that may be accessed via this link.
