IEEE Standards Association Today
– Globally recognized standards
– Over 1,100 active standards
– More than 500 standards under development
– 7,000 individual members,
– 200 corporate members
– Over 20,000 standards developers worldwide
IEEE-SA: Partners in Collaboration
Facilitation of consensus across the global community of participants

Standards that Save LivesNuclear safety standards
– Radiation detection – Define applications such as testing, reliability and
protection of nuclear sites
The National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC)The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) – Makes a positive impact on the safety of electrical workers– 49 U.S. states and >100 countries
Color Books for Industrial and Commercial Power Systems– Recommended practices for grounding of electrical
systems and safety procedures for the maintenance and operation of power systems
Medical device communication standards– Provide automatic electronic data capture to help
determine a remote patient’s condition in real time– Can adjust device’s operation, e.g. insulin delivery based
on glucose level information
Global Standards for Global Markets
Globally deployed Internet standards
– IEEE – Networking
– IETF – Routing Protocols
– W3C – Browsers
– OASIS – Applications
Redefined the information paradigm

Ensuring Safe Nuclear Energy Through Standards– Leverage the IEEE culture as a learning
organization to understand issues and communicate clear priorities
– Engage the global community
– Goal of global harmonization
– Maintenance of the highest quality standards
– Commitment to continued process of improvementp p
– Participation by nuclear experts
IEEE is committed to the future of nuclear safety
Thank You!
