SWG 5 Internet of Things

Revision Mai 2016

Note: This special working group has been disbanded.
The work begun in ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SWG 5 on Internet of Things standardization gaps will be continued in ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG 10.

Introduction

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 5 Internet of Things (IoT) is a special working group (SWG) of the Joint Technical Committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which develops and facilitates the development of standards for Internet of Things (IoT). ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 5 was established in 2012 at the 27th plenary meeting of ISO/IEC JTC 1 in Jeju, Republic of Korea, as a result of growing interest in the field of IoT by other standards organizations. The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 5 is the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), located in the Republic of Korea.

Terms of Reference

The terms of reference of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 5 are:

  • Identify market requirements and standardization gaps for IoT
  • Encourage JTC 1 SCs and WGs to address the need for ISO/IEC standards for IoT
  • Facilitate cooperation across JTC 1 entities
  • Promote JTC 1 developed standards for IoT and encourage them to be recognized and utilized by industry and other standards setting organizations
  • Facilitate the coordination of JTC 1 IoT activities with IEC, ISO, ITU, and other organizations that are developing standards for IoT
  • Periodically report results and recommendations to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 3 on Planning
  • Provide a written report of activities and recommendations to JTC 1 in advance of each JTC 1 plenary
  • Study IoT Reference Architectures/Frameworks and provide a study report. This study report should be written so it could be referenced in a possible JTC 1 New Work Item Proposal on IoT. The report shall be made available to JTC 1 no later than the 2014 JTC 1 Plenary

The purpose of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SWG 5 is not to develop or publish IoT related standards, but to coordinate with ISO/IEC JTC 1 subcommittees, working groups, and special working groups and with other standards organizations to help better identify and convey the needs and gaps in the IoT world.
