The last decade of the Standards Publishing Advisory Board (SPAB) has been defined by professional resilience. As the host and organizer of SPAB, Accuris has worked to ensure this community has a steady platform to navigate the “Winds of Change” (the 2016 theme).

In the world of engineering, we often talk about “the edge” – the edge of discovery, the edge of the grid, or the edge of a network. But that edge is only as stable as the standards supporting it. This February, we are honored to name IEEE as our Publisher of the Month.

As the new millennium dawned, the professional focus of the Standards Publishing Advisory Board (SPAB) shifted from “distribution” to “integration.” This was the era of the Engineering Workbench vision – a time when the industry realized that simply providing a document was no longer enough.

Accuris is proud to champion the individuals who dedicate their expertise and time to the standards community. Our ongoing SDO Hero Campaign recognizes the profound societal value of consensus-driven standards – the essential foundation for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world. In this feature, we spotlight Sonya Bird, Vice President of International Standards at […]

In the winter of 1976, Denver, Colorado, was more than just a gateway to the Rockies; it was the birthplace of a dialogue that would eventually underpin the safety and reliability of modern global infrastructure.

In the fast-paced world of engineering, having access to the right data at the right time is the difference between leading the market and falling behind. We’ve compiled the “Top 15” SAE standards that every mobility professional needs in their library this year.

In the modern engineering landscape, progress is often measured by the speed of deployment. We celebrate the first flight of a hydrogen-powered aircraft or the successful rollout of a Level 4 autonomous fleet. However, behind every breakthrough lies a silent, sophisticated architecture of technical consensus: the industry standard.

Accuris is proud to champion every individual dedicated to the standards community. Our SDO Hero Campaign recognizes the profound societal value of consensus-driven standards – the essential foundation for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world. We are thrilled to launch this series with Drake McGregor, Senior Manager of Standards at AIA.

Accuris is proud to announce SPAB 2026 (February 24–25, 2026) – our annual leadership forum where the global standards community comes together to turn vision into action.

Accuris is proud to champion every individual dedicated to the standards community. Our SDO Hero Campaign recognizes the profound societal value of consensus-driven standards – the essential foundation for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world.

Let’s recap the arguments I presented in my last two posts: standards are the trust infrastructure of the SDGs, the common language that turns ambition into execution.

Let’s continue in the same path going one level deeper with the statement: if standards are the language, collaboration is the conversation.
