The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) releases draft standards Committee Drafts for Votes (CDV’s) that are open for public review and comment; contingent upon national policies and coordination with national standards bodies such as USNC/IEC. (The Secretariat for Technical Committee 85 is China). The strategic business plan for this committee is linked below:
IEC TC 85 Strategic Business Plan SMB 6093/R
We curate global standards action for the user interest in the education industry and university-affiliated medical research and healthcare delivery enterprises here. The education industry in every nation is a large market for electrotechnology products and systems. Of particular interest to subject matter experts in several building technologies involving electrotechnology may be a recent release by IEC Technical Committee 85 on how to measure electrical safety in low voltage electrical systems up to 1000 volts. Several redlines are now open for public review:
85/632/CDV | IEC 61557-4 ED3: Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 4: Resistance of earth connection and equipotential bonding
85/633/CDV | IEC 61557-5 ED3: Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 5: Resistance to earth
Comments are due in Geneva by May 4th. Because access to these redlines is “coordinated” we typically refer this the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee (which meets online again on Tuesday, February 27th) Of course, the IEC suite and all other international standards that invite direct are on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconferences every Wednesday at 11 AM Eastern time. e. Anyone is welcomed to join this teleconferences with the login information in this link (Click here)

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional association with its corporate office in New York City and its operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. It was formed in 1963 from the amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. Today, it is the world’s largest association of technical professionals with more than 420,000 members in over 160 countries around the world. Its objectives are the educational and technical advancement of electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering and allied disciplines.

The training of public safety functionaries in educational settings is much in the news lately. APCO International is an ANSI accredited standards developer of a suite of standards that should interest business units in the US education industry responsible for campus safety. APCO has released two standards for public review:
(New standard) Topics include: Processing, dispatch, and utilization of multimedia systems; Operational factors, including but not limited to: increased work load and multi-tasking, security requirements, impact of evolving voice and data networks; Conceptual understanding of NG systems, emergency services networks, and IP networks; Impacts of stress when handling graphic media; Utilization of non-traditional resources, i.e., third party call centers, telematics, etc.
This is a revision of the standard that identifies the core competencies and minimum training requirements of the individual who is generally tasked with delivery of training within the communications center. The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent foundation for the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to fulfill this critical function. This standard recognizes the standard with agency-specific information.
Comments are due May 7th. You may obtain an electronic copy from standards@apcointl.org or from Crystal McDuffie, (386) 322-2500, mcduffiec@apcointl.org. You may send comments to standards@apcointl.org (with a copy to psa@ansi.org).

The IES-City Framework is the product of an open, international public working group led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to reduce the high cost of application integration through technical analyses of existing smart city applications and architectures. Campuses — especially large research university campuses — are “cities within cities” and the perfect study unit for cities of the future — hence our interest in how this framework will catalyze concepts we will see in safety and sustainability codes and standards in the near future.
If you think these policy conceptions are too high level to be meaningful in the construction, operation and maintenance documents that guide the build out of the $300 billion education facilities industry, think again. We are already beginning to see some of these concepts show up in public input into campus building infrastructure codes and standards developed by IEEE, NFPA, ASHRAE, ICC and others.
NIST has set up a public working group for a technology and business model neutral forum for capturing a minimum set of commonalities that can be adopted to achieve the composable vision of a smart city. One of its work products has been released for public review:
14-43 NIST IES-CityFrameworkdraft_20180207
Comments are due April 8th. To provide comments you may use this link to create a response email: Comment, You may also communicate directly with Dr. Martin J. Burns, NIST, Smart Grid & Cyber Physical Systems Program Office, Associate Director for Testbed Science: martin.burns@nist.gov Tel: 301-975-6283, Cel: 202-379-8021.
All NIST projects are on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconferences (every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern time) to which everyone is welcomed. Click here to log in. Since the emergent #SmartCampus is fundamentally an electrotechnical transformation we also collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets 4 times per month in American and European time zones.
