SCC18 Updates [Standards]

In the July/August 2009 issue of IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, I talked about the IEEE Standards Association (SA), as it relates to other standards-making organizations, namely, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) through Standards Coordinating Committee 18 (SCC18). I also provided some information on the types of SCCs and their responsibilities. My thanks go to Mel Sanders, SCC18 chair, for contributing most of the information that follows, which expands on my earlier column.
