International. Verification of Operation of Audiovisual Systems is the latest standard that ANSI, a private non-profit organization that manages and coordinates voluntary standardization in the United States, approved to InfoComm International.
The ANSI/INFOCOMM 10-2013 standard provides a comprehensive, systematic and practical approach to verifying the performance of AV systems. This standard will provide professionals with the ability to produce a verifiable evaluation of the audiovisual system based on quality assurance, testing, and acceptance, and ensures that the system conforms to the operational needs of the owners, as set forth in the system/project documentation.
"Through the development of this standard, InfoComm has achieved its goal of establishing verification guidelines to promote effective communication between industry professionals and their customers on issues related to system performance. However, for this standard to be a real success it must be integrated into the way the AV industry does business. I urge manufacturers to encourage their partners to use this standard, integrators and design consultants to implement the standard and technology managers to ask commercial service providers about it," said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, Executive Director and CEO of InfoComm International.
InfoComm singled out all subject matter experts for their leadership in developing this standard:
Matthew Silverman, CTS, PMP, George Mason University, Moderator
John Bailey, CTS-D, CTS-I, Whitlock
