S07ADSCOMa18 SC 17A 62271-111 Discussion - Need and ProcessIEEE, Document Need, Dual Logo Maintenance ProcessNew Delhi, India - 2007-04-16/17L. Farr and D. StoneUSNC
Overview of IEEE • A Global, non-profit organization • Over 367,000 members in over 150 countries • 44 Technical Societies/Councils (areas of interests) • Activities: • International conferences • Publish technical literature • Develop and maintain industry standards
IEEE Standards Development Process • Participants are “individuals” (people) • Not Manufacturers • Not Users • Not Countries • Projects are Sponsored by an IEEE Group • e.g.: The IEEE Switchgear Committee • Project usually delegated to a Working Group of individual persons – volunteers (similar to IEC MT)
IEEE Standards Development Process (continued) • Voting by invitation to join “Ballot Group” • To interested Persons • Not to Companies • Not to Countries • Greatest difference between IEEE and IEC process: • IEEE voting by individuals (one individual, one vote) • IEC voting by National Committees (one country, one vote) • IEEE attempts to resolve all negative comments
IEC/IEEE Dual Logo Agreement • The Dual Logo Agreement is between IEEE and IEC • The agreement was signed by the Council of both organizations in 2002. • It is not an agreement between IEEE and TC17 or SC17A • Therefore its future cannot be decided at this level • References: • C/1257A/RV - • C/1260A/DV - decision on Council Document
IEC 62271-111 The Need • The USNC and IEEE strongly believe that a common need exists for this standard • The IEEE version (C37.60) was first published over 45 years ago as a standard for Automatic Circuit Reclosers. • It has become the ‘de facto’ international standard for Automatic Circuit Reclosers for producers, test laboratories and users. • 30 or more countries USE reclosers on their power distribution systems • 10 or more countries MANUFACTURE reclosers for domestic use and/or for export.

IEC 62271-111 The Need (continued) • IEC did not have a comparable standard before 62271-111 was approved in 2005. • 11 National Committees voted Affirmative on the FDIS. • Most of the 5 negative balloters recognized the need for the standard but disagreed with its form.
Proposals for Revision of 62271-111 • The IEEE Switchgear Committee is open to revisions that will address many of the concerns of the IEC members. • Clause numbering can be changed to be consistent with other IEC standards in the 62271-series. • Both IEC and IEEE (or ANSI) standards can be used as normative references if they are technically equal. • If differences exist between referenced standards, the joint maintenance team can address them as part of the project. • Definitions not found in IEC can be added for reference.
Common Specifications • IEEE has developed a new Common Requirements standard. • Recently approved by IEEE members • Should be published later this year • Will be gradually adopted (become a normative reference) by switchgear standards as appropriate • Many of the specifications are identical to, or very similar to, those of IEC 62271-1 that is currently being approved • Documents organization and numbering is the same as IEC 62271-1
Recommendation of the USNC • The USNC and the IEEE believe an ongoing international need exists for IEC 62271-111. • A Dual Logo Maintenance Team (DLMT) should be formed as provided for in the original Dual Logo agreement between IEC and IEEE. • The DLMT should including members from the appropriate IEC and IEEE committees. • IEC 62271-111 should be revised and maintained as a Dual Logo International Standard.
