About the IEEE Standards Association
The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized
standards-setting body, develops voluntary consensus
standards through an open process that brings diverse
parts of an industry and the public together. These
standards set specifications and procedures based
on current scientific consensus. The IEEE-SA has a
portfolio of some 900 active standards and more than
400 standards in development. For information on the

About the IEEE Corporate Standards Program
The IEEE Corporate Standards Program brings companies
and other organizations together to develop standards
in entity-based working groups. Companies participate
directly in IEEE's accredited standardization process,

industry-oriented program facilitates work completion
in one to two years, depending on participant commitment
and use of IEEE support services. The program also
expedites international adoption through agreements
and alliances with key international standards organizations.
