Introduction
This project aims to adapt IEEE 1848™ 2020 to the needs of the machinery sector. The original document was written to address a broad audience but uses language more commonly used in the electronics and process sectors rather than machinery.
History
IEEE 1848 was adapted from the IET’s guideline “Code of Practice for Electromagnetic Resilience.” That guideline received good reviews but not as wide acceptance as hoped, so the original IEEE 1848 project was launched.
Project Plan
We are in the process of establishing the Study Group. This work began in Q1-2023 and is progressing. We are still recruiting new members to the project; see the section on membership below.
The goal is to have at least two meetings in Q2-2023 to review and approve the future Working Group Policies and Procedures and to finalize the Project Approval Request (PAR) for submission to the EMC Society’s Standards Development and Education Committee (SDECom) for approval and submission to the IEEE Standards Association’s Standards Board.
Once the PAR is approved, the work will begin. The planned starting goal is in Q4-2023, September. However, this date may slip depending on when we receive approval for the project.
The seed document for the work is IEEE 1848. At this point, it is hoped that the modifications to the new Machinery Sector version of the document will not be extensive. We are planning the project based on the IEEE SA standard 36-month timeline.
Members
The study group members are members of the original IEEE 1848 Working Group (WG), and some additional members were recruited from the machinery sector. We are open to new members. If you are interested in working on the project, please get in touch with the Chair or the Vice-Chair (see the homepage) and provide your CV and a brief statement including your affiliation, i.e., your employer or academic institution, and your interest in the project.
