SCC21 Roadmap for P1547.x and P2030.x Standards
(Updated February 2023)
P1547.x Projects
P2020.x Projects
Considerations for SCC21 Criteria for PAR Initiation
- In order of high to low priority
- IEEE required timing (10 years)
- Need for any immediate or emergency updates or amendments
- Review of wish list for a standard
- Market adoption conditions / regulatory reference projects
- Availability of SMEs, key participants or leaders
- Related efforts, including IEEE SA projects (standards, recommended practices, guides)
