Standard for the Eyewear indicates how the glasses used in active technology sets be designed. It is aimed at ensuring viewers don’t have to remove glasses while viewing 2D content. It would also help two different viewers to see different images which will be a boon specially so in case of gaming programs.

In case of wireless charging products the standard CEA-2042.1-A, Wireless Power Glossary of Terms, lays down the list of terminology that can be used for this technology.

Standardization of transmission of signal using a product that is CEA-805-D compliant has been set by the CEA-805-D-1, Data Services on the Component Video Interfaces.

Ambient lighting used while viewing TV sets have also been laid done by the CEA in its technical reports CEA-TR-1, Home Illumination Study strictures. The brightness factor of the television set for comfortable viewing experience has been laid down by this stricture. There is a direct relationship between brightness and the power consumed by the television set.
