The ETIM data standard: at the heart of the UK's electrotechnical data pool, EDATA

In 2017 the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) became the UK representative for the ETIM data standard, and a member of its governing body ETIM International.

Simply put, the ETIM model is a clear-cut way to logically structure the information describing a product’s technical attributes and performance. Information which contractors, installers, and decision makers need to know.

Fast forward to 2025, and the ETIM standard is at the heart of the UK’s award-winning electrotechnical data pool, EDATA.

Thorugh this central hub of enriched product information and images, manufacturers share their up-to-date product information and images with EDA Wholesalers.
