Back IEC publishes first international standard developed entirely on OSD platform
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has published the first international standard fully developed using the Online Standards Development (OSD) platform. The publication of IEC 60512-28-100:2024 represents a landmark achievement for the international standards community.
It promises to set global standards development on a more collaborative, more efficient path for the future and demonstrates the IEC’s commitment to modernizing and streamlining the standards development process for everyone.
IEC 60512-28-100:2024, Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 28-100: Signal integrity tests up to 2 000 MHz - Tests 28a to 28g, is the result of dedicated work by IEC Technical Committee 48/Subcommittee 48B (TC 48/SC 48B). The standard sets new benchmarks for signal integrity testing, ensuring high performance and reliability in connectors for electrical and electronic equipment. The OSD platform, a joint initiative by the IEC and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides standards developers with new digital tools to streamline the process of drafting and editing international standards.
Philippe Metzger, the IEC Secretary-General, said: "The publication of IEC 60512-28-100:2024 on the OSD platform is a testament to the IEC's dedication to innovation and excellence. This achievement not only highlights the capabilities of the OSD platform but also sets a precedent for future standards development.”
The OSD platform enhances the accuracy and quality of standards while simplifying the development process by facilitating real-time collaboration, streamlined document management and integrated tools. The benefits of working on the OSD platform include enabling authors to focus on content; streamlining the authoring process; facilitating collaboration and consensus building; full integration into the IEC ecosystem; having the full standards development workflow in a single online tool; and easier commenting and comment resolution.
