The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is the leading developer of global industry standards in a broad-range of industries, including:
| • Power and Energy | • Transportation |
| • Biomedical and Healthcare | • Nanotechnology |
| • Information Technology | • Information Assurance |
For over a century, the cornerstone of the IEEE-SA is its established standards development program - a program that offers balance, openness, due process, and consensus. Each year, the IEEE-SA conducts over 200 standards ballots, a process by which proposed standards are voted upon for technical reliability and soundness. In addition to producing the prominent 802® Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Network Wireless, IEEE-SA also develops the standards for:
• Intelligent highway systems and vehicular technology
• Distributed generation renewable energy
• Voting Equipment Electronic Data Interchange
• Rechargeable Batteries for PCs
• Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorder Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Issuing and Management
• Components Architecture for Encrypted Shared Media Organic Field Effect Technology
As a membership organization, IEEE-SA thrives because of the technical diversity of its 20,000 plus participants, consisting of technology leaders from around the globe, including individuals in corporations, organizations, universities, and government agencies. Through their collective knowledge, members contribute to the integrity and value of IEEE standards.
