IEEE-SA Governance Structure

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is the leading developer of global standards in a broad range of industries

Power and Energy Biomedical and Healthcare Information Technology Telecommunications Transportation Nanotechnology Information Assurance

… 44 IEEE Technical Societies

For over a century, the IEEE-SA has offered an

established standards development program that features balance, openness, due process, and consensus.

IEEE Standards Development Approach Voluntary Consensus Standard

- Hallmark of the standards process - Open to all dedicated parties - IEEE ballot member categories:

General Interest, Producer, User

Early History of SCC21 (since 1981) – Developed a body of PV Standards; Incorporated SCC23 DG Guide IEEE 1001 and activities into SCC21 in 2000; published in late 1980’s IEEE 929 (SCC21 Interconnection Recommended Practice) in response to PURPA (1978); and established IEEE 1547 in 2003 in response to deregulation and interconnection needs by DG industry.

Worldwide Recognition - IEEE and International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) dual logo arrangement for IEC to accept IEEE standards for international use;

e.g., IEEE Std 1547 as IEC Publically Available Specification

IEEE-SA Standards Board Encourages and coordinates the development and revision of IEEE standards Approves the initiation of IEEE standards projects Reviews IEEE standards projects for consensus, due process, openness, and balance Gives final approval to IEEE standards prior to publication and processes all necessary appeals.

Standards Coordinating Committees (SCC)

When the scope of an activity is too broad to be encompassed in a single IEEE Society, the IEEE-SA Standards Board will establish its

own standards developing committee (SCC) to perform this function when necessary.

(Note: An SCC reports directly to the Standards Board. There are

over 15 SCC active committee’s. SCC21 is one of these committees and has been operating since 1981)

IEEE Standards Board Standards Coordinating Committee 21 (SCC21)

IEEE SCC21 - SCOPE

The IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 21 oversees the development of standards in the areas of fuel cells, photovoltaics, dispersed generation, and energy storage, and coordinates efforts in these fields among the various IEEE societies and other affected organizations to insure that all standards are consistent and properly reflect the views of all applicable disciplines. Reviews all proposed IEEE standards in these fields before their submission to the IEEE-SA Standards Board for approval and coordinates submission to other organizations.

Elimination of reaffirmation & stabilization Effective 1 Jan 2012

Joan Woolery Sr. Program Manager j.woolery@ieee.org

The Changes (As of 1 Jan 2012)

22

1. No new reaffirmation or stabilization ballots 2. Reaffirmation/Stabilization in invitation/ballot on 1 Jan 2012 must be approved by the December 2012

SASB meeting 3. Standards now have a 10 year maintenance cycle

– Extended from 5 years – Clock starts from the last approval or maintenance action, whichever date is later.

4. The only actions available to Sponsors are: – Revision – Amendment/Corrigendum (This is NOT a maintenance action) – Withdrawal

5. A revision ballot may result in: – Changes to the standard – Changes to only the references or bibliography – No changes at all

The standard will retain its designation (i.e. the year will not change). The title page will reflect the fact that a maintenance action occurred but no changes were

made. 6. All revision projects must be initiated via a PAR, even if no change is planned 7. The status for a standard will be either active or inactive 8. All standards must have a revision approved by the IEEE-SASB prior to the close of Year 10 in order

to remain active 9. Any standard not approved as a revision will become inactive after Year 10 10. Sponsors can revise, amend, or withdraw their standards at any time prior to Year 10 11. Sponsors will be notified every year of all active standards assigned to the Sponsor, the dates that

such standards are scheduled to expire, and a reminder to consider such standards for revision

FAQ is available online at: http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/reaff.html

B. Reaffirmation/Stabilization in invitation/ballot on 1 Jan 2012: • Must be approved by the December 2012 SASB meeting • If not submitted to RevCom by 15 October 2012, then item A

• Expire date = 31-Dec-2018

• Expire date extended to 2018 since the 10 yr date is earlier than 31 December 2018. See Rule A on previous slide.

2. Std 1547: Reaffirmed Sept 2008 • 10 yr maintenance date = Sept 2018

• Expire date = 31-Dec-2018

3. Std 1547.1: Reaffirmed June 2011 • 10 yr maintenance date = June 2021

4. Std 1547.3: Approved May 2007 • 10 yr maintenance date = May 2017

• Expire date = 31-Dec-2018

Categories of Inactive Standards

25

inactive-superseded: These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata. inactive-reserved: These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years. inactive-withdrawn (valid for standards categorized after 1 January 2012): These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of the balloting group.
