Reply to: RE>TAA and Year 2000 Requirements? Mike,
First of all, could you tell me what type of product that your company is marketing? If you let me know. I could narrow the product categories to figure out what TAA stands for. Year 2000 is coming. All product softwares must be compliant with International Standard ISO 8601 "Data Elements and Interchange Formats-Information Interchange Representation of Dates and Times", which provides specifications for the numeric representation of Gregorian calendar dates and time of day. The requirement prevents the misrepresentation of the significance of the numerals when these representations are interchanged. Example: year 2000 is represented as "00" which could be misrepresented as "year 1900". Year 2000 is a Millennium year!

I have been asked by our sales people if our products comply with the following requirements; 1. TAA 2. Year 2000 I know they are not safety or EMI standards. Does anyone have any clues what our sales person is talking about? They say it is a requirement to sell to the Army recruiters.
