ISBT 128 License Fees

ISBT 128 is a copyrighted system that is governed by ICCBBA and licensed to authorized users on the basis of an annual license fee. ICCBBA is a not-for-profit organization that is entirely dependent on license fee income. Each year, the annual license fee is established by the Board of Directors according to a schedule that indexes several factors. Chief among these is funding the annual cost of operations for supporting, maintaining and administering the ongoing development of the standard for the benefit of all licensee organizations. Additional factors in calculating the license fee include the type of licensee organization, and the international location of the organization in accordance with the U.N.'s Human Development Index for developing countries.
