I3A also served as the sponsor for ANSI and ISO standards for photography, including the Picture Transfer Protocol (ISO 15740) as well as consortia standards such as the Internet Imaging Protocol.

It transferred the sponsorship of ANSI and ISO photographic standards to the Society for Imaging Science and Technology in January 2011,[1] and had been disbanded as of October 2013.[2]

PIMA and NAPM

The Photographic and Imaging Manufacturers Association, or PIMA, was founded in 1946 under the name National Association of Photographic Manufacturers (NAPM). In 1997 the name was changed to PIMA. NAPM and PIMA served as the sponsor for ANSI and ISO standards for photography from 1946 until 2011.
