About
the IEEE Standards Association The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA),
a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through
an open process that brings diverse parts of an industry together. These standards
set specifications and procedures based on current scientific consensus. The IEEE-SA
has a portfolio of more than 870 completed standards and more than 400 standards
in development . For information on IEEE-SA see: http://standards.ieee.org/.
The
IEEE-SA Corporate Standards Program The IEEE-SA Corporate Standards
Program allows profit and not-for-profit entities to create standards within an
open process. Standards are developed in company-based working groups in which
each member has one vote. This industry-oriented program allows for standards
creation in one to two years, depending on participant commitment and the use
of IEEE support services. For information on this program see: http://standards.ieee.org/corpforum/index.html.
