What’s New? The IEC/IEEE 82079-1 Revised and other Standards in TC

IEC/IEEE 82079-1 Ed.2 was recently published (May 17th 2019). It's time to get to know the new version of this important horizontal standard for TC.
The new version not only has a new title but a completely new concept of “information for use”. This version has additions referring to the delivery of information for use in electronic form and is also presented in a different structure. The information management process has become a normative part of the standard. This means that claiming conformity is not only possible for the information product but for the information management process as well. Now, information on professional competencies can also be found as part of the standard. The presentation gives an overview on the upcoming standard. You will get an idea of how to work with the new version and how processes can be aligned with the requirements.
Furthermore, you will learn more about other standards and standardization projects in TC.
