EMC Standards Activity — News on Standards Week at the Annual Symposium

Abstract

Standards Week has become a regular part of our annual IEEE EMC Society hosted symposium. This year the formal name is the 2021 Joint IEEE International Symposium on EMC, Signal and Power Integrity, and EMC Europe. Standards Week is not a separate event or even a separate stream; rather, it is a compilation of all the events that take place that are related to any aspect of standards development or implementation. This is done to both promote the work being done and make it easier for participants to find out what changes may be happening in their field of interest. There is also the sincere hope that more people will be inspired to assist in this very important work and so will help to ensure our standards are relevant and correct. As all standards are approved by consensus, it is vital that well balanced industry, government agency, and academic resources are available for both the initial development and throughout the lifetime of a standard. During the virtual symposium, the timing is considerably stretched, and so look for further details as the schedule is finalized. It is likely that at any time there will be some standards related activity occurring, and not just during a one week period.
