The Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard (ACES) is the aftermarket
industry data standard for the management and communication of product
fitment data for light, medium and heavy duty vehicles, powersports, and
off-highway and equipment. The ACES data standard allows companies to
communicate this information for their products to their trading partners,
by utilizing multiple supporting relational databases, which contain
standardized, codified data, including vehicle and equipment attributes,
qualifier statements, product classifications, brands and more. For
example, if a company's product(s) requires a Year, Make, Model lookup in
order to find it in a catalog or web lookup, users would utilize the ACES
data standard, which utilizes multiple relational databases, to
communicate that fitment information for their product(s) to their trading
partners. The ACES data standard is used by light, medium, and heavy duty,
as well as powersport, off-highway and equipment companies to communicate
their product fitment information. For more information, please check out
