Submitting a Draft Standard for Approval FAQs

Submitting a Draft Standard to RevCom for Approval by the IEEE SA Standards Board

What is needed to submit a draft standard to RevCom for approval by the IEEE SA Standards Board.

Where can I find information on the documents needed for the submittal of a draft standard for approval?

The IEEE SA has developed a working guide to aid in the Submittal of Proposed Standards outlining current submittal procedures.

What happens after the information has been submitted?

The submittal will be reviewed by the IEEE SA Standards Board Review Committee (RevCom). RevCom members will enter their comments in myProject which will then be available to the submitter for consideration and reply. All documentation, including the replies to the comments, will be considered by RevCom and the IEEE SA Board. The recommendation of RevCom will be presented to the IEEE SA Standards Board for final action. The submitter will be notified of these actions.

What does RevCom typically look for when reviewing submitted documents?

IEEE SA has developed a RevCom Review Checklist outlining the items RevCom will consider in their review of the draft standard. After the review is complete, the recommendation of RevCom will be presented to the IEEE SA Standards Board for final action.

What happens after the document is approved by IEEE SASB?

The Working Group chair will be notified of the IEEE SASB approval from the RevCom Administrator. The IEEE Standards Publications Department will also be notified that the document has been approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board and an IEEE SA staff editor will contact the WG Chair during the final publication process.
