Charter

NAIITF is a group of Industry representatives that:

Promotes the Standardization of a single Electronic Communications/Control Network (ISO 11783, ISOBUS) on Vehicles and Implements used in Agriculture and Forestry.

Welcomes the participation of all interested individuals and companies in this effort.

Coordinates with counterpart organizations in Europe and elsewhere to encourage the use of this world wide Standard.

Recommends changes or additions to the Standard via its participants who are part of the ISO/TAG process.

Provides general, public information about this Standard to all interested individuals and companies.

Encourages the development of approved test facilities so that manufacturers have a means of determining their product’s compliance with the ISOBUS Standard. This is commonly known as ISOBUS Compliance.

ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) This Electronic Standardization represents an effort similar to mechanical & hydraulic standardization efforts which have proven to be very successful. Companies headquartered outside of North America are strongly encouraged to participate in NAIITF, if interested. The North American focus applies only to the specific activities above. More information can be found in the Objectives & web pages of the NAIITF web site.
