This paper serves as an introduction to the standardization effort taking place to support the industrialization of Wearable Electronic Devices and where Printing for Fabrication technologies will fit into these. It commences with a short overview of the market sectors for Wearable Electronic Devices and examine where Printed Electronics and other technologies will contribute. In this way it will show where the interest in Printing for Fabrication currently lies, concentrating in particular on textile electronics and sensor fabrication. It explains the concept of e-textiles in this space and by describing the structure and organization of IEC TC 124 it charts the route whereby interested parties can participate. This way it shows some of the benefits that can be gained by participation and lists some of the groups that a participant would expect to meet. It finishes by listing at some of the challenges that need to be met by future standardization activities.
