IEC TC119 (Printed Electronics) represents a significant opportunity for our community. International Standards are an enabling activity to bring a technology to industrialisation and will thus aim to address the “Lab to Fab” bottleneck.The activities of IEC TC119 are now reaching a critical point. It is important that it has engagement with and contributions from the community represented at this conference.This paper gives a brief overview of the International Standards process and the organisation of IEC TC119. It looks at the proposed structure for the standardisation of Printed Electronics and surveys the areas currently being worked on.A key theme through this work is how this community can contribute to these important standards and how individuals and companies can benefit from participation.
