The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities ouside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in partci- pating inthe development ofthe standard, Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary, The existence of an IEEE Standard {doesnot imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, mar ket, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed atthe time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and ‘comments received from users of the standard, Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reatficmed, it is reasonable o conclude that its contents although sil of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state ofthe ar. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standav. ‘Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership afiliation with TEEE, Suggestions for changes in doco: ‘ments should bein the form ofa proposed change of tent, together with appropriate supporting comments, Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arse regarding the meaning of portions ‘of standards as they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought tothe attention of IEEE, the Insitute will ntiatesetion to prepare appro: priate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned inter ests, its important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence ‘of a balance of interests, For this reason IEEE and the members of is technical com- rites are notable to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter as previously received formal consideration ‘Comments on standards and requests fr interpretations should be addressed to Secretary, IEBE Standards Board |445 Hoes Lane P.O.
