Introduction

Fundamental goal of the IEC – Promote international cooperation and trade through the development of IEC standards

Regional conditions of an essential and permanent nature to be addressed during the development or revision of a standard

Introduction

Procedure by which essential differences in requirements may be included – on an equivalent basis – as normative requirements

Essential requirements due to legal and regulatory provisions included in an informative annex

Global Relevance – Principles

EDR – Essential Difference in Requirements Technical infrastructures or climatic differences

Significant market share Normative part of document

Regulatory requirements Non-permanent nature Informative annex

TC/SCs encouraged to use existing solutions EDR solution when no consensus possible

Existing solutions

2.2.3 Procedure

a) Figure 2 shows the luminance processing circuitry for the signal which is a dropout generator circuit.

b) Input a white signal of 50 % (grey) (0,357 Vp-p for NTSC and 0,350 Vp-p for PAL/SECAM) to the video signal input for the dropout generator circuit. Also supply a horizontal sync signal and a vertical sync signal to the horizontal and vertical sync signal inputs of the dropout generator circuit.

c) Do not record chrominance or hi-fi audio signal.

d) Figure 3 also shows the level adjustment system of the dropout in the Y-FM recording signal which is shown in figure 4.

Basic principles

EDR based on differences in technical infrastructures differences in climatic conditions

EDR submitted to the relevant TC/SC by the National Committee for consideration

Basic principles

EDR does not mean different side-by-side standards

Procedure of including EDR applied only in those cases where the TC/SC agrees on substantial degree of harmonisation with other requirements in standard

Implementation procedure

Proposal for EDR, including justification, endorsed by the relevant NC

Proposal for EDR includes technical and market justification

Indicate how any resulting IEC standard will be treated nationally

EDR submitted at the earliest stage (NP) but not later than the end of the CD stage

Implementation procedure

EDR shall be included in CDV and FDIS IPR provisions have to be applied Inclusion of an EDR may not itself be the

reason for a negative vote by NCs Negative votes related to EDR at any stage

(NP, CDV, FDIS) accompanied by a technical/market justification

Legal & regulatory requirements

Different requirements due to legal and regulatory provisions included in informative annex

Annex indicates law/regulation reference technical rationale body responsible for the requirement

(government/ministry/department/agency)

Annex referenced in main body of standard

Implementation

SMB will create system for monitoring inclusion of EDR and legal provisions in IEC standards

Periodic report to be provided and be basis for review of the procedure after 2 years (extended for additional year)

SMB Directive Maintenance Team will review the existing Directives in order to accommodate procedure

Technical Infrastructure

The SMB decided not to provide a definition for “technical infrastructure” and to refer to the dictionary definition …

Technical Infrastructure

Compact Oxford Englishthe basic physical and organizational structures (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise

Chambers1 the basic inner structure of a society, organization, or

system. 2 the permanent services and equipment, eg the roads,

railways, bridges, factories and schools, needed for a country to be able to function properly.

3 the permanent services and equipment, eg roads, railways and bridges, needed for military purposes.

Technical Infrastructure

Websters1 : the underlying foundation or basic framework (as of a

system or organization)

2 : the permanent installations required for military purposes

3 : the system of public works of a country, state, or region; also : the resources (as personnel, buildings, or equipment) required for an activity
