IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinat-

ing Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of the

committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the

Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the

subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an inter-

est in participating in the development of the standard.

Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply

that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and

services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the

time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in

the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is sub-

jected to review at least every Þve years for revision or reafÞrmation. When a document is more

than Þve years old and has not been reafÞrmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents,

although still of some value, do not wholly reßect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to

check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.

Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of

membership afÞliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a

proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.

Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as

they relate to speciÞc applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of

IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards rep-

resent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has

also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its

societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to

interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal

consideration.

Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may

require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard,

no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in

connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents for

which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into

the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
