Important nonIEEE standards

This paper presents a brief overview of the scope and revision of standards outside IEEE that are very important to our society. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sponsors standards NFPA 70, 70B, and 70E and various other standards. Our Society has formal relationships (liaisons) to the technical committees that revise these standards through the Standards Association-Standards Coordinating Committee (SCC) 18. SCC 18 reviews and coordinates the recommendations of IEEE technical committees to establish the IEEE consensus position for the voting members on NFPA technical committees and code making panels.
