Standards Interpretations

Answering questions that may arise related to the meaning of portions of an IEEE standard concerning specific applications.

IEEE STANDARDS INTERPRETATIONS

Interpretations explain and clarify the intent of the standard; they do not constitute an alteration to the original standard or supply consulting information. New requirements cannot be made to fit situations not yet covered in a standard; new requirements are addressed through standard revisions or amendments.

Requesting an Interpretation
As of 1 January 2012, IEEE no longer accepts requests for interpretations of IEEE standards.
