Are you referring to IEEE1584.1 2013. This is the standard that recommends the scope of work (including survey) and deliverables.
By the way you referred to 1584b, it looks similar.
Yes. My mistake. And although there have been a few revisions of IEEE 1584 itself, the changes I saw were really minor as Jim said. He should know since he's a big part of running the group that edits IEEE 1584. I didn't see anything that has altered the equations since 2002.
There is a major change coming. However, IEEE is not the same as NFPA. With NFPA every change goes through an up/down vote and has pretty much a set calendar for when everything has to happen. All NFPA documents are on either a 3 or 5 year revision cycle. IEEE isn't like that, and the makeup of the standards groups also includes a much broader group of people. So it is much slower. It is beginning to sound like the major revision will be in the next year or two though.
