IEEE and EIA JOINT AGREEMENT
FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT

In late 1995, IEEE Standards entered into an agreement with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) for joint development of a family of standards addressing software life cycles. This agreement is part of the continuing effort by IEEE Standards to strengthen its standards program and benefit standards users worldwide.

All standards produced under this agreement will carry a joint EIA and IEEE designation and will conform to ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission) directives--ensuring uniform style and fostering international acceptance.

We are pleased to announce that the first standard produced as a result of the agreement is now available, EIA/IEEE J-Std-016-1995, EIA/IEEE Interim Standard for Information Technology--Software Life Cycle Processes--Software Development--Acquirer-Supplier Agreement (Issued for Trial Use).
