Currently not accepted specifications

These specifications have been mentioned by contributors on the discussion page but have not been accepted into the BELGIF because they did not meet the minimal criteria to be considered as an open standard. The criteria are defined in the qualification process. Use the specific page of a technical specification to discuss it or to give us additional information about it. These specifications will be reviewed on a regular basis.
