Global Standards for Global Markets: Chinese Technologists in the World Standards Community
IEEE Standards Education e-Magazine, Second Quarter 2012
By Steve Mills, President, IEEE-SA and Judith Gorman, Former Managing Director, IEEE-SA

A new international standards paradigm is taking shape. The current model, in which countries drive the adoption of standards by bodies with national representation, is giving way to a growing trend that sees global markets deploying international standards regardless of their formal status.

As China broadens its presence in global markets, the country will increasingly need to influence standards that drive these markets.
