Sanctioned by the Attorney General of the United States, the InterAgency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability (IAB) was founded by the Department of Defense's Consequence Management Program Integration Office and the Department of Justice's Federal Bureau of Investigation Weapons of Mass Destruction Countermeasures on October 13, 1998. The IAB is a voluntary collaborative panel of emergency preparedness and response practitioners from a wide
array of professional disciplines that represent all levels of government and the voluntary sector. The IAB
provides a structured forum for the exchange of ideas among operational, technical, and support
organizations to improve national preparedness and promote interoperability and compatibility among local,
state, and federal response communities. Based on direct field experience, IAB members advocate for and
assist the development and implementation of performance criteria, standards, test protocols, and technical,
operating, and training requirements for all-hazards incident response equipment with a special emphasis on
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive issues. The IAB also informs broader emergency
preparedness and response policy, doctrine, and practice.
