definition of an IEEE standard

[sajiv]

An IEEE standard is a document authored under the IEEE-Standards Association Standards Development Process from Project Authorization Request through to IEEE-Standards Association Standards Board Approval. However, there are other standards distributed via IEEE Xplore, namely C63, C136, etc. standards, that are Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) Standards, and which do not follow the definition outlined above. An ASC Standard is a document authored by a standards developing organization other than the IEEE, for which the IEEE holds secretariat responsibility.
