The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) extended their existing cooperation agreement, which describes a procedure for submitting and approving existing IEEE standards to IEC, to include a procedure permitting joint, parallel development of a project in both organizations leading to an IEC/IEEE international standard.
The agreement is an addendum to the original IEC-IEEE dual logo agreement, signed in 2002.
It establishes procedures for IEC and IEEE to jointly develop standards, the process of which includes consulting to establish the need for new standards projects, initiating a joint development project, preparing and circulating draft standards and voting to approve those standards.
It also includes processes for maintenance of approved standards to keep them up to date, as well as details on publication, copyright and sales.
The first standard completed under the IEC/IEEE dual logo agreement was published in May 2004.
