IEEE Standards Process
Active IEEE Standards
After the final approval by the IEEE SA Standards Board (IEEE SASB), the approved standard is published and made available for distribution and purchase. Learn more about what happens to an IEEE Standard after approval and how it’s distributed here.
Active IEEE Standards are living documents, which may initially be published and iteratively modified, corrected, adjusted, and/or updated based on market conditions and other factors. Depending on where a standard is in its lifecycle, a standard may be accompanied by additional documents that are produced by its respective Working Group. These may include amendments (which modify sections of the standard), or corrigenda (which only correct errors or ambiguities in a standard). An errata, which addresses errors in the standard introduced during the publication process may be issued by the IEEE SA Editorial staff. Learn more about maintaining an IEEE Standard here.
IEEE Standards in Development
The IEEE Standards Development Life Cycle is broken down into the following stages. These steps were developed using a time-tested, effective, and trusted process to provide foundation standardization on which technology innovation is based.
