CTA: Consumer Technology Association

CTA: Consumer Technology Association

CTA, the Consumer Technology Association, is a standards and trade organization for the consumer electronics industry. It is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia and has a conglomerate of 2,200 companies. CTA advocates for the entrepreneurs, technologists, and innovators who mold the future of the consumer technology industry. CTA provides a platform that unites technology leaders to connect and collaborate, and it avidly supports members who push the boundaries to propel consumer technology forward. Standards from CTA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.

Below are CTA's best-selling standards. To find additional standards, please use the search bar above.

ANSI/CTA-2089.1-2020

ANSI/CTA-2051-A-2022

Wearable Sound Amplifier Performance Criteria

This standard includes technical performance metrics and associated target values for consumer products that provide wearable sound amplification and/or audio enhancement to a user. Products shall meet the stated requirements to be considered as compliant to this standard. Wearable sound amplification may be a single function within a larger set of device capabilities. Descriptions of feature specific device performance baselines and metrics of measurement are described. Device performance capabilities have been divided into feature specific sub-sections that identify required minimum performance values, metrics of measurement necessary to identify feature specific performance values, and methods of reporting prescribed to each feature specific value.

CTA 861-G-2016 (ANSI)

A DTV Profile for Uncompressed High Speed Digital Interfaces

CTA-861 establishes protocols, requirements, and recommendations for the utilization of uncompressed digital interfaces by consumer electronics devices such as Digital Televisions (DTVs), digital cable, satellite or terrestrial set-top boxes (STBs), and related peripheral devices including, but not limited to DVD players/recorders, and other related Sources or Sinks.

ANSI/CTA-2009-C-2023

Performance Specification for Public Alert Receivers

The National Weather Service operates a network of radio transmitters throughout the United States that broadcasts local weather information. Meteorological Services of Canada operates a similar network in Canada. When important events (thunderstorm warnings, tornado watches, etc.) happen these networks transmit digital codes that can cause radios equipped to receive them to turn on. To the user, these radios work essentially like alarm clocks – except that instead of turning on at specific user-programmed times, they turn on for specific user-programmed events. CTA-2009-C describes the events these radios should recognize, how users should be able to program them, what sort of indications the radios should give when an alert is received, the quality of the audio they should produce, and other things. Compliance with this standard, and a licensing agreement with the Consumer Technology Association, are required to use the Public Alert(TM) mark.

ANSI/CTA-2052.1-A-2022

Definitions and Characteristics for Wearable Sleep Monitors

This voluntary standard defines terms used to describe sleep and indicates, where appropriate, the functionality necessary in a consumer sleep measuring device to measure those characteristics. This standard provides definitions of sleep features terminology recommended for wearable sleep monitoring consumer products. This standard does not provide operational definitions for terminology used for medical devices. Furthermore, it is acknowledged that not all compliant products will include features to meet every use case, but the ones that it does claim such will meet the respective requirements.

ANSI/CTA-2056-A-2021

Physical Activity Monitoring for Step Counting

This standard creates definitions and performance criteria for measuring step counting on consumer wearable or app-based Physical Activity Monitoring Solutions.

ANSI/CTA-2060-2017 (R2023)

Interoperability Standards Series for Consumer EEG Data - File Storage

This standard describes an extensible container file format for time-synchronized multi-channel time-series data of various types, with a focus on biosignal data such as EEG, EMG, EOG, ECG, GSR, MEG, nNIRS, fMRI, and event markers. Other data types are addressed by vendorspecific or general-interest extensions (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, PCM/MP3 audio, raw/H.264 video).
