National bodies that are members of by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IsO and IEc technical governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, SO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards. Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter coveredbypatentrights.Bypublicationofthisstandard,nopositionistakenwithrespecttotheexistenceor validityof anypatent rightsinconnectiontherewith.IsO/lEEEisnot responsibleforidentifyingessential patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connectionwithsubmissionofaLetterofAssuranceoraPatentStatementandLicensingDeclarationForm,if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory.

It was adopted by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology Subcommittee sc 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems, in parallel with its Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE.
