The IEEE-SA holds the following types of Secretariats: International Secretariat
IEC TC93 - Design Automation
This activity is primarily focusing on the part of design automation dedicated to "low current" electronic equipment (ICs, boards, equipment) even if some of the results may be applicable to other domains. There is no intent to deal with electric applications such as power plants, smart buildings, high current electromechanical devices, etc. At present there are seven working groups that address various aspects of design automation standards.

Secretariats
for Accredited Standards Committees
The IEEE-SA also holds the secretariat for the following accredited standards committees:
Accredited Standards Committee C2
- National Electric Safety Code®
C2 is the committee that develops the National Electrical Safety
Code (NESC). In 1972, the IEEE was designated as the secretariat
for the NESC. The NESC continues to be a stronghold in the US
electrical industry and communications utility field, and serves
as the authority on safety requirements for power, telephone,
cable TV, and railroad signal systems. The NESC rules, however,
do not cover installations in mines, ships, railway rolling equipment,
aircraft, or automotive equipment, or utilization wiring except
as covered in Parts 1 and 3. »

Accredited Standards Committee N42
- Radiation Detection
N42 is an accredited standards committee with expertise in radiation
instrumentation and detectors. As such, it has responsibility
for ANSI standards in those areas. It produces and maintains highly
technical standards and processes them through the American National
Standards Institute via the IEEE as the Secretariat.

Accredited Standards Committee C63™
- ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
This committee is responsible for the development of definitions and methods of measurement of electromagnetic noise and signal strengths (radiated and conducted), determination of levels of signal strength, levels of unwanted sources, limiting ratio of noise (and/or unwanted sources) to signals and development of methods of control of, and guidelines for influence, coupling and immunity. Where subjects dealt with overlap with those of other national committees, appropriate liaison will be established.
