5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

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

16. 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.

17. 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
