This is a set of training modules for Volunteers of IEEE. These volunteer training modules are meant to help volunteers understand how IEEE functions and to explain the many services IEEE has to offer.
What are Standards?
Standards:
- are specifications that define materials, methods, processes or practices;
- provide a basis for determining consistent and acceptable levels of quality, performance, safety and reliability;
- drive/create markets and drive technology;
- generally voluntary compliance documents and only become mandatory if called up in legislation or in contracts. This makes them quasi-legal and potentially admissible in a court of law;
- are "living documents,” meaning that they are constantly evolving and can be updated, superseded, or withdrawn.
