  ITU-T A.5 justification information for referenced document JEDEC standard JESD89A in draft K.150
1. Clear description of the referenced document:
Name: JEDEC standard JESD89A
Title: Measurement and Reporting of Alpha Particle and Terrestrial Cosmic Ray-Induced Soft Errors in Semiconductor Devices.
2. Status of approval:
The referenced JEDEC standard JESD89A was approved in October 2006 and reaffirmed in January 2012.
3. Justification for the specific reference:
This standard is regarded as most reliable standard for soft error test method for semiconductor devices. Most semiconductor device manufacturers refer JESD89A as soft error test method and the data related to soft error of component used in telecommunication equipment are obtained by the test method specified in the standard.
4. Current information, if any, about IPR issues:
No known issues.
5. Other useful information describing the "Quality" of the document:
The referenced standard has completed the rigorous and comprehensive review in JEDEC with the effort of more than 70 members. It was approved and published in 2006.
6. The degree of stability or maturity of the document:
The first version of referenced standard has completed in 2001 as JESD89 and revised version JESD89A was published in 2006 and it was reaffirmed in 2012. The standard is very stable for more than ten years.
7. Relationship with other existing or emerging documents:
None.
8. Any explicit references within that referenced document should also be listed:
