Experts from China, the US, Sweden, Italy, Japan, and South Korea talked about standards in family electronic systems and the future goals in the industry in Tokyo recently.

The conference was held by WG1, a working group of family electronic system organized by the International Standardization Organization and International Electro-technical Commission.

Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) from China is a globally renowned standardization organization in family electronic systems and has participated in the meeting for eight consecutive years. IGRS has submitted several standardization proposals to the committee.

During this meeting, Doctor Zhuang Weihua, global standardization expert of the IGRS submitted two proposals, on the basic agreement and service platform in the industry of remote access.

The proposals received wide support from experts at the meeting. If passed, the proposals will become new standards in family electronics.

Attendees visited the Echonet Detection and Certification Lab of the Kanagawa Institute of Technology and acknowledged the industrial and academic situation in Japan.

IGRS officially launched three service standards in 2009, and another four were added in 2012.

IGRS proposed a remote access standard system was approved in Sweden in October 2013. Since then, a new series of standards were formed. The proposal on remote access was approved in September 2014, which was the first of the new standards.

The IGRS is the first national global standardization institution in China.

Focusing on 3C (computer, consumer electronics, and communication devices), the IGRS is dedicated to establishing a standard and technological system for different devices to connect and communicate.

So far, the IGRS has had eight standards approved as global standards by the ISO/IEC and eight national standards approved by the National Standardization Administration. The IGRS is enacting another 18 standards right now.

Recent years witnessed IGRS's efforts in connecting with upstream and downstream firms in the industry and gathering experience in smart family devices, smart terminals, smart living, smart education, smart medication, and smart audio industries. The IGRS has been launching a series of smart city system solutions to push forward the rapid development of the industry based on the discovery of innovative technology and smart applications.

The key members of the IGRS include eight major IT leaders, such as Lenovo, TCL, Changcheng, and Changhong.
