The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards, or INCITS (pronounced "insights"), is an ANSI-accredited forum of IT developers. It was formerly known as the X3 and NCITS.
INCITS technical standard groups and technical committees have provided many popular standards, among them:
- T10 — SCSI
- T11 (X3T9.3) — Fibre Channel
- T13 — AT Attachment
INCITS coordinates technical standards activity between ANSI in the USA and joint ISO/IEC committees worldwide. This provides a mechanism to create standards that will be implemented in many nations.
