How often are the ASC X12 base standards updated?
An Annual Release is a complete set of X12 standards used in Electronic Data Interchange. Each release includes the latest innovations and updates to the X12 standards made by the committee. Each release also includes updated versions of the ASC X12 Control Standards, the rules of the road for EDI. The X12 Annual Release is the most authoritative and widely used presentation of the X12 Standard. It is essential to planning and administrating a successful EDI implementation. Twice a year, following the February and June X12 Trimester Meetings, the X12 Standards are republished in a “Subrelease”. The Subrelease highlights changes made to the standard since the previous Annual Release. However, The X12 Annual Release is the authoritative publication, and most often used when developing information exchanges.
