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.

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.
