IEEE Conformity Assessment Program

Bridges IEEE standards development activities with proven testing and certification frameworks

Encompasses all aspects of – Conformity assessment-self declaration– Third-party assessment/testing– Interoperability

Help accelerate market adoption of new products and technologies

14

OpenStand: The Paradigm

IEEE, IAB, IETF, Internet Society and W3C documented a set of principles for a modern or market driven paradigm of global, open and bottom up standards

In this paradigm economics of global markets and societal needs, fueled by technological innovation, drive global deployment of consensual, bottom up standards to help ensure strong integration, interoperability and increased synergies along the innovation chain across national and regional boundaries

Embraces communities that are grounded in universal openness, leverage and build upon knowledge for innovation and produce standards in a process that is open to the society of world experts without restrictions

15

OpenStand: The Principles

Respectful cooperation between standards organizations, whereby each respects the autonomy, integrity, processes and intellectual property rules of the others

Adherence to the fundamental parameters of standards development, including due process, broad consensus, transparency, balance and universal openness

Collective empowerment to strive to develop standards that are chosen and defined based on technical merit, as judged by the contributed expertise of an open and global experts community; provide global interoperability, scalability, stability, and resiliency; enable global competition; serve as building blocks for further innovation; and contribute to the creation of benefit for humanity

Availability of standards specifications; they are made globally accessible to all for implementation and deployment; moreover, the proponents of this paradigm have defined procedures to develop specifications that can be implemented under fair terms, ensuring thus a broad affordability of the outcome of the standardization process (openness of input and output)

Voluntary adoption of the standards by the market and that their success is determined by the market

16

OpenStand: The Initiative

Multi-faceted, multi-dimensional

Strives to gain global awareness and recognition for standards and standards development processes based on the core principles

Embraces technical innovation via methods that ensure direct, open participation and that produce standards without borders and without limits

Advocates for increased openness and inclusivity

Encourages global cooperation and openness for innovation, market growth and the advancement of technology for the global benefit of humanity

Entities and individuals can:– Show support for and commitment to the principles– Promote the value of open standards and open standards development

processes and their impact– Leverage the principles and paradigm in discussions, negotiations and

relationships as essential tools for technology advancement to address global issues and to help ensure universal growth and social progress
