Copyright © 2005 IEEE. All rights reserved. 1 IEEE Standards Style Manual 1. Overview This manual establishes preferred style for the preparation of proposed IEEE standards. IEEE Standards project editors are available for advice and assistance throughout this process. Please note that many of the suggested guidelines can be adapted and restructured to suit the needs of a particular group; however, it is strongly recommended that working groups consult with IEEE Standards project editors before deviating from this style. Failure to follow the requirements (shall) or recommendations (should) of this manual may result in delayed approval of the draft standard by the IEEE-SA Standards Board or delayed publication of the standard. This 2005 Edition of the IEEE Standards Style Manual is applicable to all drafts submitted for IEEE Sponsor ballot or to the IEEE-SA Standards Board after 31 August 2005. A file showing highlighted changes to the 2000 Edition of the IEEE Standards Style Manual is available from the IEEE Standards World Wide Web site <http://standards.ieee.org/guides/style/index.html>. Any comments or queries concerning this document should be forwarded to an IEEE Standards project editor via email (stds- [email protected]) or directly to the staff liaison. The email must contain a clear description of the relevant text and the recommended changes, where applicable. This manual is not intended to be a guide to the procedural development of standards. 1 Recommended manuals on this subject are the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws [B4] 2 , the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual [B6], and the IEEE-SA Standards Companion [B5], also published by the IEEE Standards Department. 3 For examples of IEEE Standards style of drafts, please see Annex B. An example amendment can be found in Annex C. 2. Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments or corrigenda) applies. ANSI Y32.9, American National Standard Graphic Symbols for Electrical Wiring and Layout Diagrams Used in Architecture and Building Construction. 4 1 While this manual uses the term “standard,” its rules apply generically to guides and recommended practices as well. 2 The numbers in brackets correspond to those in the bibliography in Annex A. 3 All IEEE Standards manuals are available on the IEEE Standards World Wide Web site <http://standards.ieee.org/guides/index.html>. Users are encouraged to visit this site for the most up-to-date information. 4 This publication, as well as the subsequent ANSI standards appearing in this clause, are available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08855, USA (http://standards.ieee.org/).
