The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) signed an agreement aimed at increasing their cooperation in developing international standards.
The agreement initially focuses on the subjects of information technology, intelligent transport systems and health informatics.
The partner standards development organization (PSDO) cooperation agreement provides opportunities to adopt and jointly develop international standards to serve the global marketplace.
The PSDO cooperation agreement between the two organizations seeks to optimize stakeholder resources in the development of standards where both ISO and IEEE have expertise, and to shorten time to market.
According to the organizations, the agreement facilitates processes for the joint development of standards and for adopting each other's standards.
"Strengthening partnerships with standards development organizations having a global reach is one of ISO's strategic objectives, and this agreement with IEEE will help to optimize resources, shorten timeframes and reinforce the collection of ISO international standards in a coherent and consistent manner," said Alan Bryden, ISO secretary-general.
