International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

Founded in 1906, the International Electrotechnical Commission is the international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields all electrical, electronic and related technologies (known collectively as “electrotechnology”). 

IEC provides a platform to companies, industries, and governments for meeting, discussing, and developing the International Standards they require.

All IEC International Standards are fully consensus-based and represent the needs of key stakeholders of every nation participating in IEC work. Every member country, no matter how large or small, has one vote and a say in what goes into an IEC International Standard.
