1999 Survey on Recognition and Use of IEEE Standards Interim Results Presented to IEEE SA Standards Board 16 September 1999
Contents • Purpose of Survey • Methodology • Sample Summary • Respondents Summary • Major Observations
Purpose of Survey • Value of ANSI recognition of IEEE Standards • Value outside US • Value seen by developers • Value of recognition by other bodies • Not looking for ideal designation for globalization
Methodology Sample survey • Customers • U.S. Customers • Non-U.S. Customers • Developers • Volunteers from Balloting Pools
Sample Summary MailedReturnResponse • U.S. Customers¹ 359 88 24.5% • Non-U.S. Customers¹ 149 17 11.4% • Volunteers² 250 69 27.6% Total 758 174 23.0% Notes: ¹List provided by IHS ²List from internal database

Respondents Summary (cont.) CustomersVolunteers • Use of ANSI Standards • sometimes to always 99% 97% • Use of ISO/IEC Standards • sometimes to always 96% 87% • Use of IEEE Standards • longer than 3 years 91% 99% • 4 or more standards 88% 70% • mostly used, published std. 58% 49%
Major Observations • IEEE Standards and ANSI • IEEE Standards and ISO/IEC • IEEE Standards and WTO
IEEE Standards and ANSI • 90% see value of ANSI recognition • U.S. customers, slightly more often than others • Value is seen mostly in acceptance of IEEE Standards by national bodies • Distant second area is in quality of IEEE Standards development process
IEEE Standards and ANSI (cont.) • Less than 10% consider ANSI recognition as not important • U.S. customers, international customers and volunteers alike • 45-63% consider it important or very important • U.S. customers least often and volunteers most often
IEEE Standards and ANSI (cont.) • 50-60% do not think ANSI-recognized IEEE Standards are different • Over 60% look specifically for ANSI name on IEEE Standards • U.S. customers more often than others • Over 80% are aware most IEEE Standards are recognized as American national standards • International customers slightly more often than U.S customers
IEEE Standards and ISO/IEC • More than 80% consider recognition of IEEE Standards by bodies such as ISO/IEC valuable or very valuable • Less than 5% consider it as of no value • U.S. customers and international customers consider nearly alike
IEEE Standards and WTO • Almost all think, it is important that IEEE be viewed by WTO as a developer of international standards • Over 75% think it is important or very important • Volunteers more often than others
