LonWorks Technology Ratified as an ISO/IEC Standard
The Industry Standard LonWorks Technology Platform has been approved by the top world standards organizations, ISO and IEC, as a world standard for control networks
In December 2008, the voting members of the Joint Technical Committee (JTC 1) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) formally approved LonWorks control networking technology as ISO/IEC 14908, Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The four parts of the standard set comprise the core protocol; the twisted-pair, free-topology-wiring transfer medium; the powerline transfer medium, and the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) as a tunneling transfer medium, respectively.
The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards.
ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 161 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.
The IEC is the world's leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
