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 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 V p-p for NTSC and 0,350 V p-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 which characterize electrical systems are  frequencies in IEC  voltages in IEC  currents in IEC  earthing systems in IEC  EDR based on climatic conditions are quoted in IEC and based on classification system

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

Other characteristics  Submit to TC/SC  TC/SC consensus  Appeal to TC or SMB if necessary

Not significant market segment  Help users of standard  Informative annex  Market justification  Technical justification

Legal or regulatory requirements  Informative annex  Include reference to law/regulation  Technical rationale

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

Technical Infrastructure  Compact Oxford English the basic physical and organizational structures (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise  Chambers 1 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  Websters 1 : 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
