Committee Scope and Purpose

    As part of the reorganization of the EMCS Standards Committee, the Standards Education/Training Committee (SETCom) was formed. This committee was established to provide formal training opportunities for working groups involved in the development of IEEE EMC standards. Traditionally, working groups “learned by doing” and via informal exchanges between with the EMC Standards Committee and with previous working groups. This occasionally resulted in unnecessary delays and often caused much extra work for the working groups, the chair in particular.

    The purpose of the SETCom is to “develop working group processes to assure that EMC standards are prepared in accordance with IEEE policies and procedures.” The goals of the committee are to (1) prepare and conduct seminars for Working Groups on the development, coordination, balloting, and support of IEEE EMC standards, and (2) enhance the awareness of IEEE EMC standards throughout the EMC community and demonstrate how these standards can be effectively applied to the development, production and use of equipment and systems.

    To accomplish these goals, SETCom develops guidelines for working groups, illustrates and clarifies IEEE standards development and adoption requirements, prepares information materials on IEEE EMC standards, and coordinates standards educational activities with the EMCS Education Committee. The SETCom expects to periodically organize and present seminars at the annual symposium on the requirements and recommended procedures for active and newly formed working groups, and when appropriate, take the lead in organizing special sessions on standards at the symposium.
