Types of Standards
Products (dimensions, materials, construction, durability,

Materials (chemical, physical, metallurgical)
Process (procedures where specific processes are
fundamental to manufacture)
Interoperability (connectors, signals, interfaces)

Interoperability (connectors, signals, interfaces)
Testing (methods to assess properties, materials)
Services, Guides (requirements to be met when
performing)
Management (process for organizations, ISO 9000 QMS,
ISO 14000 environmental management system)
Design (materials, dimensions, methods of construction)
Performance (describe the function of a product without
stating how that is to be achieved)
Audiovisual Performance Standards
Until now, audiovisual performance
standards have not been available;
audiovisual companies or their clients have
created their own standard guidelines.

InfoComm International is changing that!
Standard Guide for Audiovisual Systems
Design and Coordination Processes
A successful professional
audiovisual system
installation depends on
the clear definition and
8
the clear definition and
coordination of processes,
resources, and
responsibilities of the
design and installation
project teams.
Standard Guide for Audiovisual Systems
Design and Coordination Processes, cont.
This standard outlines a consistent set of
the standard tasks, responsibilities, and
9
the standard tasks, responsibilities, and
deliverables required for professional
audiovisual systems design and
construction.
Good Time to Create this Standard!
Rapid proliferation of audiovisual technology in
architecture
High recognition of audiovisual issues: audio to
digital television transition, HOW projects,
Education projects, etc.
Heightened awareness of commissioning
10
Heightened awareness of commissioning
particularly with regard to LEED projects
Need to distinguish audiovisual profession from
IT, Physical Security, Electrical
Maturing audiovisual industry implementing
other standards; professional certifications
Fast-paced project development timelines
require more accurate communications

Benefits
Architects, engineers, facilities managers,
owners, and technology managers will
benefit from a set of guidelines that ensure
that all aspects of audiovisual projects have

that all aspects of audiovisual projects have
been considered, and that appropriate
professionals have been tasked with their
