Standardization IEEE standards

The kernel part of these documents consists of IEEE Software Engineering Standards. IEEE standards are written for general application purpose therefore, they tend to be very comprehensive and generic. The total number of pages of QA related standards exceeds 2,000. One can easily imagine what a huge load it will be on those people who have to prepare documents and those who have to review the documents. On the other hand, it should not be too difficult to find unnecessary conservatism for a specific case from these general-purpose documents. 

Each segment of the insulated wire and cable industry has its own set of standards, and cables are built to conform to specifications provided by a large variety of technical associations such as The Institute of Electrical Electronic Engineers (IEEE), The Insulated Cable Engineers Association, (ICEA), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Rural Electrification Administration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (REA), Association of Edison Illumination Companies (AEIC), MiUtary Specifications of the Department of Defense (MIL), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), National Electrical Code (NEC), etc.

Using the PC for control requires installation of a board into the expansion slot in the computer, or the PC can be connected to an external I/O module using a standard communication port on the PC (RS-232, RS-422, or IEEE-488). The controller card/module supports 16- or 32-bit microprocessors. Standardization and high volume in the PC market has produced a large selection of hardware and software tools for PC controllers.

For offshore locations where ignitible gas-air concentrations are neither continuously present nor present for long periods, API RP 14F also allows type MC cable with a continuous aluminum sheath and an outer impervious jacket (such as PVC) and armored cables satisfying ANSI/ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Standard No. 45. API RP 14F does not recommend IMC for offshore installations and cautions users that installations of MI cable require special precautions. The insulation of MI cable is hygroscopic (able to absorb moisture from the atmosphere).
