Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology. IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) develops standards across a wide range of industries including power and energy, telecommunications, computing, and more.

InternationalSyntax IEEE identifiers follow patterns like: IEEE Std [Number]-[Year], IEEE [Number]-[Year], IEEE [Draft Number]/D[DraftVersion]. Some include AIEE legacy identifiers. Both /Amd and /Cor separators are flexible — slash, hyphen, and space variants are accepted and normalised. Website →

Structured elements that make up a IEEE identifier:

Publisher
Enumeration

IEEE, IEC/IEEE, or ANSI/IEEE

IEEEIEC/IEEEANSI/IEEE
e.g.IEEE
Draft Indicator
Enumeration

P prefix for draft standards

P
Present only for draft standards. Replaces "Std".
e.g.P
:draft
Number
String

The standard number

Alphanumeric. May contain dots (e.g., 802.3, C37.118)
e.g.802.3
Part
String

Part number or subpart

Optional. Subpart after dot in number.
e.g.1
Year
Year

Publication or revision year

4-digit year, preceded by hyphen
e.g.2018
Draft Version
String

Draft version number (e.g., D3.0)

Format: D[Major].[Minor]. Only for drafts.
e.g.D3.0
Relationship
String

Relationship to other standards (Revision of, Amendment to)

Optional. Describes relation to other standards (e.g., "Revision of", "Amendment to").
e.g.Revision of IEEE 1016-1998
:relationship
Typed Stage
Enumeration

Stage indicator (CDV, FDIS, etc.)

CDVFDIS
Optional. For IEC/IEEE joint documents.
e.g.CDV
:typed_stage
