One of several video teleconferences explaining why international business and technical standards should be on the agenda of the leaders of the US education industry. Up until July 2016 the original University of Michigan enterprise hosted them on Friday afternoon. In the reconstructed enterprise (see ABOUT) they are hosted weekly at 11 AM Eastern Time and they remain open to anyone. (Click here to log in)
The Illumination Engineering Society (IES) is one of the first names in non-profit trade associations whose consensus documents are heavily referenced in the specifications of building construction projects for the US education industry.
We are following developments in a few technical committees put together by the IES who set the standard of care for illumination technologies by coordinating our understanding of the scopes and purposes of other consensus documents developed by:
There are a number of other trade associations that are participants in research and open source standards for faster moving parts of the illumination science. We will cover these in future posts.
For the moment IES has released an addendum to Section 4.2.2.3 Compact Fluorescent Lamps) for public review:
IES consensus documents are on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconference (every Wednesday, 11:00 AM Eastern) which is open to everyone with the login information below:
With not enough standardization — you get chaos and inter-operability crises. With too much standardization you stifle innovation and economic growth. The global standards system sets a platform where all stakeholders can simultaneously collaborate and compete. On many issues of public concern, it must compete with government but it can also collaborate in public-private partnerships — particularly on the matter of public safety.

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:
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.
