Documents in the IEC (and CISPR) go through a number of stages in the adoption process. Typically, the first version that goes out for comment (but not vote) is a CD, or Committee Draft. After the comments on the CD are discussed, a CDV, or Committee Draft for Vote, is produced. This goes out to the National Committees for a 6(?) month voting period. If the CDV passes, any comments received with the votes are reconciled and an FDIS, or Final Draft International Standard, is produced and sent out for vote (again, 6 months). If this passes the changes are included in the next amendment to the standard involved.
This is a time consuming process. There is a change to the definition of a telecommunications port in CISPR 22 that has been in process since 1999. The FDIS should be appearing soon with voting to conclude prior to the next CISPR meetings in September. 3 years start to finish if all goes well. About par for the course. Some changes take much longer. Notice that we don't have limits above 1 GHz in CISPR 22? CISPR has been working on that issue for a long time. Hope this helps.
