The aim is to unify the approach to testing new FET devices:

It looks like it's about deep submicron transistors on future ICs, so I think it is not directly relevant for audio hobbyists anyway. Indirectly maybe, because it can have an effect on what exotic transistor types are used on future DSPs and FPGAs.
I've just got a general distaste for "standards" (particularly when their development is coming from public funds) being gatekept.
Agreed on applicability though.
Agreed - I posted more for interest. Probably should have been under The Lounge now that I think about it 🤔
I'm with you here - far too much is hidden behind unnecessarily expensive journals.
