OPEN STANDARDS - ALWAYS ON THE CUTTING EDGE
As a pioneer and trendsetter, the Schroff name is synonymous with expertise in the areas of mechanics, electronics, climate control and system management and has been for over 50 years. Accordingly, we have been an active member of global standards committees such as IEC, IEEE, VITA and PICMG and taken a leading role in setting new standards for decades. As an international enterprise with globally active customers, we take responsibility for the rapid and efficient implementation of technological advances and product innovations for our customers' benefit.
WE INCORPORATE OUR EXPERTISE INTO THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS COMMITTEES:
International Electrotechnical Commision (IEC)
Our skills and knowledge as experts in system solutions have contributed to forming and updating the European "Mechanical structures for electronic equipment" standard for 30 years. Many of these standards have been based on proposals by nVent and we have played a decisive role in their implementation.
Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Committees of this US-based institute deal with the standardization of technologies, hardware and software. For example, nVent engineers played a leading role in the development of the IEEE standard 11101.1.
VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA)
For over 20 years we have also been an active member of VITA, whose focus is the specification of modular embedded real-time systems. nVent has been a source of formative influence in drafting such standards as VITA 61.11 (system management for VPX).
PCI Industrial Computers Manufacturers Group (PICMG)
We are at the forefront in the specification of telecommunications and industrial applications. Accordingly, we were and remain involved to a high degree in the development of the AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC standards and are directly responsible for the mechanical component of the MicroTCA standards.
