ACORD Data Standards

ACORD is committed to helping the industry achieve the goal of straight-through processing.

We offer many Standards, as well as implementation guides and construction tools, to ACORD members.

Once you join the proper ACORD membership or participation program, you will need to set up an account on acord.org to access the Standards and corresponding files available for that program. Please register and create your account if you have not already done so. If you already have an account, simply sign in with the credentials provided to you.

If you are interested in ACORD Membership, please email Member Services or call (845) 620-1700. For more information on the value of Standards to your organization, see Why Standards?

ACORD facilitates an open Standards development process.

Changes to the ACORD Standards are proposed, presented for review, and voted on by members. There are several ways to track and contribute to the Standards Development process:

• Get involved in Standards Project Groups or other ACORD programs, in order to have a voice in the future of the Standards, and the industry.
• Submit an Inquiry or Standards Enhancement Request to help us ensure the Standards continue to fulfill your needs.
• See the Standards Enhancement Reports for more information on recent and upcoming changes to the Standards.
