The association cooperated in standardization of names for components, such as batteries [2] and provided industry guidance on such subjects as 1-Dimensional Bar code & 2-Dimensional Matrix Code Product Package & Shipment Labeling, date code restrictions, and other packaging options.[3] NEDA was an advocate for the authorized distribution of electronic components and parts and was active in formulating anti-counterfeiting policies and establishing a website providing an authorized electronics inventory search. [4] NEDA is often cited by American manufacturers, along with ANSI, for names of components.[citation needed]
NEDA merged with the Electronic Components Association in 2010 to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA).[5]
