Comments on standards Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership a
17、ffiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice pertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a conse

For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or qu
19、estions except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not respond to interpretation requests.

Compliance with the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply
21、 compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements.

An official IEEE document at any point in time
27、 consists of the current edition of the document together with any amendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect. Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every 10 years.

31、ion of this standard may require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant has filed a statement of a
32、ssurance via an Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE- SA Website at http:/ standards .ieee .or g/ about/ sasb/ patcom/ patents .html. Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compen

Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for iden

Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
