The Information Technology Standards Committee (ITSC) was formed in 1990, under the purview of the Standards Council appointed by SPRING Singapore . It is an industry-led effort made up of volunteer members from the industry, but supported by SPRING Singapore and IDA Singapore. It is a neutral and open platform for interested industry and government parties to come together to agree on technical standards. ITSC is also the national representative to international standards forums.
