Piscataway,
NJ 23 September 2002 Standards developers at the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association
(IEEE-SA) now have their own web area, http://standards.ieee.org/resources/development/index.html.
Launched by the IEEE-SA, a major developer of global standards,
the site provides a focal point for the standards developer community.
The IEEE Standards
Development Online site supports individuals and companies participating
in the creation of standards at the IEEE. It consolidates the
critical mass of standards development process and procedure information
into one location on the IEEE-SA website. It also provides informative
training modules and information for each step in the IEEE-SA
standards development process. The site covers in detail how to
initiate a standards project at the IEEE and how to write a standard.
It covers the balloting or voting process of standards, as well
as how standards get published and the various services the IEEE-SA
offers to its standards development groups to help them get their
standards out to market.
The launch
of the IEEE Standards Development Online area represents the first
major step in realizing the IEEE-SA's larger effort to automate
its standards development process-giving 24/7 access to information
and forms groups need in order to develop their standards in an
effective and timely way. "IEEE Standards Development Online
embraces our goal of meeting standards developer needs in today's
fast-paced standards and business environments," says Judith
Gorman, Managing Director of the IEEE-SA. "It provides the
tools and information needed not only to embark on new work, but
also provides a 'helping hand' every step of the standards development
way. It is an excellent and competitive resource for IEEE standards
developers."
About the
IEEE-SA
The IEEE Standards Association, 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 to ensure that products and
services are fit for their purpose and perform as intended. The
IEEE-SA has a portfolio of more that 870 completed standards and
more than 400 standards in development. Over 15,000 IEEE members
worldwide belong to IEEE-SA and voluntarily participate in standards
activities. For further information on the IEEE-SA see http://standards.ieee.org/.
