1. Standards Coordinating Committee 20 on Test and Diagnosis for Electronic Systems Slide 1 SCC20 Liaison Report Dr. John W. Sheppard CS SAB Meeting June 14, 2006

2. Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 2 Scope “Provides for the management, development, and maintenance of language and interface standards supporting system-level (onboard and offboard) automatic test and diagnosis. These standards include (but are not limited to) test requirements, test programs, test procedures, diagnostic knowledge, maintenance information, and major hardware subsystem interfaces between and within Automatic Test Systems.”

7. Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 7 Recent and Current Issues XML Schemata: Committee has obtained written assurance from IEEE SA that all XML schemata developed as part of SCC20 standard will be posted on an IEEE SA website for free access and use. No special license arrangement was required. Membership: Recent growth in committee size led to revision of P&P to better define “membership.” Requires annual registration and attendance to at least one meeting. New policy is now in place and is working well. International Standards: Continue to pursue “dual-logo” standards. Also have strong representation in IEC TC93 (Design Automation) –Narayanan Ramachandran, WG7 Chair and US Delegate –Chris Gorringe, UK Delegate Next SCC20 Meeting: September at AUTOTESTCON, Anaheim, CA (Disneyland Hotel).
