IEC and ISO have been working jointly on the development of digital standards through their SMART initiative, aiming to make standards more usable, accessible, and machine-readable. The initial R&D collaboration established the foundation for a more modern and digital-first approach to standardization. From this shared vision, the idea emerged to create a common Standards Delivery Unit (SDU) to better serve their core audiences.IEC/ISO are seeking a leader to head their first joint operational unit.
