6、and“WITH ALL FAULTS.”Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE standard does not imply that there are no otherways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEEstandard. Furthermore, the viewpoint express

In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services for,o

In the event that an IEEEstandard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered the approve

At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, anindividual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered thepersonal views of that individual rather than the formal position of IEEE. Comments on stan
14、dardsComments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membershipaffiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice pertaining to IEEE Standardsdocuments. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the fo
15、rm of a proposed change of text, together withappropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important thatany responses to comments and questions also receive the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEEand the members o
16、f its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response tocomments or questions except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEEdoes not respond to interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participa
17、te in revisions to an IEEE standard iswelcome to join the relevant IEEE working group.Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address:Secretary, IEEE-SA Standards Board 445 Hoes Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854 USALaws and regulations Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all
18、applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the provisionsof any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers ofthe standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by thepu
19、blication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not in compliance with applicable laws, and these documentsmay not be construed as doing so.Copyrights IEEE draft and approved standards are copyrighted by IEEE under U.S. and international copyright laws. They are madeavailable by IEEE and a
20、re adopted for a wide variety of both public and private uses. These include both use, byreference, in laws and regulations, and use in private self-regulation, standardization, and the promotion of engineeringpractices and methods. By making these documents available for use and adoption by public
21、authorities and privateusers, IEEE does not waive any rights in copyright to the documents.Photocopies Subject to payment of the appropriate fee, IEEE will grant users a limited, non-exclusive license to photocopy portionsof any individual standard for company or organizational internal use or indiv
22、idual, non-commercial use only. Toarrange for payment of licensing fees, please contact Copyright Clearance Center, Customer Service, 222 RosewoodDrive, Danvers, MA 01923 USA; +1 978 750 8400. Permission to photocopy portions of any individual standard foreducational classroom use can also be obtain
23、ed through the Copyright Clearance Center.Updating of IEEE Standards documents Users of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any time by theissuance of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments, corrigenda, orerr
24、ata. An official IEEE document at any point in time consists of the current edition of the document together with anyamendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect. Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten years old and hasnot undergone
25、a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do notwholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition ofany IEEE standard.In order to determine whether a given document is the c
26、urrent edition and whether it has been amended through theissuance of amendments, corrigenda, or errata, visit the IEEE-SA Website at http:/ieeexplore.ieee.org or contact IEEEat the address listed previously.

Users are encouraged to check this URL for errata periodically.PatentsAttention is called to the po
28、ssibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter covered bypatent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to the existence or validity ofany patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant ha
29、s filed a statement of assurance via anAccepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grantlicenses under patent rights wi
30、thout compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions thatare demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses.Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsibl
31、e foridentifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validityor scope of Patents Claims, or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection withsubmission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensi
32、ng agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Usersof this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringementof such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
