Submitting a Draft Standard for Approval
What happens after I submit the final package to the IEEE Standards Department?
What happens after the document is approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board?
What if I have additional questions about submitting an IEEE draft standard for approval?
Please access the IEEE-SA Standards Board Working Guide for the Submittal of Proposed Standards for current submittal procedures.
The Sponsor shall determine that the standard being reaffirmed continues to reflect the state of the art and contains no significant obsolete or erroneous information.
Please access the IEEE-SA Standarsd Board Working Guide for the Submittal of Proposed Standards for current submittal procedures.
What happens after I submit the final package to the IEEE Standards Department?
The final package will be reviewed by the IEEE-SA Standards Board Review Committee (RevCom). The submittal will be circulated to RevCom for review and comment. RevCom members will comment by email. These comments will be forwarded to the submitter for consideration and reply. All documentation, including the replies to the comments, will be considered at the meeting. The recommendation of RevCom will be presented to the IEEE-SA Standards Board for final action. The submitter will be notified of the action taken.
The following questions are considered:
- Was the balloting group balanced?
- Was the ballot valid with at least a 75% return and less than 30% abstentions?
- Did the ballot gain at least 75% approval?
- Does the document match the title/scope/purpose of the PAR authorizing the work? (Note that title changes that are still within the PAR's scope and purpose may be acceptable.)
- Was coordination with the required organizations achieved? Were all coordination comments accepted? If not, has a rationale been provided?
- Were all members of the balloting group given an opportunity to see all the unresolved negatives and reasons why they could not be resolved?
- Were all members of the balloting group given an opportunity to change their votes as a result of change(s) made to resolve negative ballots?
- If there is copyrighted material in the document, is there a copyright release included in the submittal package and has IEEE staff reviewed and approved any such release?
- Are there any major technical or procedural oversights?
What happens after the document is approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board?
The IEEE Standards Publications Department will be notified that the document has been approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. An editor will be assigned to work on the project. The editor will be your contact throughout the publishing process. Also, the IEEE Standards Department will make formal application to ANSI for recognition as an American National Standard.
