The IEEE Standards Association manages many concurrent standards activities. Some of these are handled within Standards Coordinating Committees (SCCs) that have responsibility for a group of related standards that merge technology of several societies. An example of this is SCC-20. Its official charter is “Provides for the management, development, and maintenance of language and interface standards supporting system-level (onboard and offboard) automatic test and diagnosis. These standards include (but are not limited to) test requirements, test programs, test procedures, diagnostic knowledge, maintenance information, and major hardware subsystem interfaces between and within Automatic Test Systems.”
SCC-20 has four active sub-committees that are in development or manage a total of 20 standards. SCC-20 recently held a meeting in Madrid, Spain to work on a number of these different standards. One of those, IEEE-1505 Receiver-Fixture Interface was recently published and available for purchase since early May.
