Audit Committee (AUDCOM) Baseline Operating Procedures
Baseline Procedures – Standards Committee and SCC Type 2
The IEEE SA Standards Board has approved the baseline policies and procedures (P&P) listed below for Standards Committee and SCC Type 2 [Revised – December 2020]. Use of these documents as the baseline for drafting P&P is mandatory. Please review the instructional text that accompanies each baseline document before beginning the drafting process.
For Standards Committee
- IEEE SA Baseline Policies and Procedures for Standards Development – Standards Committee (DOC)
- Standards Committee Baseline Instructions Template (DOC)
For SCC Type 2
- IEEE SA Baseline Policies and Procedures – SCC Type 2 (DOC)

Baseline Procedures – Working Groups (WG)
Standards Committees are expected to ensure that their Working Groups (WG) have Policies and Procedures (P&P) and that the WG P&P conform to the IEEE SA Standards Board approved baseline document. When a Standards Committee P&P is initially accepted by the IEEE SA Standards Board, and when that Standards Committee P&P is revised, reviewed and accepted every five years, a review of that Standards Committee’s WG P&P will follow. AudCom also reserves the right for random WG P&P review.
Use of these documents [Revised – December 2020] as the baseline for drafting P&P is mandatory. Please review the instructional text that accompanies each baseline document before beginning the drafting process.
For Individual Working Groups
- IEEE SA Baseline Policies & Procedures – IEEE Standards WGs – Individual Method (DOC)
- WGs – Individual Method Baseline Instructions Template (DOC)
The Simplified Working Group – Individual P&P Baseline is a version of the Working Group Baseline P&P – Individual, but with all options already pre-selected. Using this option enables a newly established WG to immediately adopt the simplified WG P&P and submit it to the Standards Committee for approval consideration. The document may then continue to be used as the WG’s P&Ps, or the WG can use the document on a temporary basis until it develops updated P&Ps based on the AudCom WG P&P Baseline – Individual.
