IEC International Standardization in the Electrotechnology Fields

1. IEC International Standardization in the Electrotechnology Fields Chris AGIUS IEC Central Office Chris AGIUS IEC Central Office Chris.agius@iecq.org

2. What is the IEC? • The International Electrotechnical Commission • Founded in 1906 to promote international co-operation on all questions of standardization and related matters in the field of electrotechnology

3. Why are IEC Standards relevant? • Putting our products into context: “Recognizing the important contribution that international standards and conformity assessment systems can make in this regard by improving efficiency of production and facilitating the conduct of international trade. . .” • “Members shall use [international standards] as a basis for their technical regulations....” • “Members shall play a full part...in the preparation...of international standards....” WTO TBT Agreement

4. International: International Electrotechnical Commission International Organization for Standardization International Telecommunication Union International Organization of Legal Metrology Regional: Africa (e.g. ARSO, SADC) Americas (e.g. COPANT, MERCOSUR), Asia-Pacific (e.g. ASEAN, PASC), Europe (e.g. CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) National bodies/committees The World of Standards

5. What is the IEC? • Founded in 1906, the IEC is an international organization whose mission is to promote international co-operation on all questions of standardization and related matters in the field of electrotechnology • Standardization means developing International Standards • “Related matters” means Conformity Assessment or Certification Standards and Worldwide Systems • But what about “electrotechnology”?

6. How you might “see” the IEC Rotating machinery (TC 2) Hydraulic turbines (TC 4) Overhead lines (TC 11) Overhead electrical conductors (TC 7) Systems aspects for electrical energy supply (TC 8) Switchgear and controlgear (TC 17) Electric cables (TC 20) Insulators (TC 36) Surge arresters (TC 37)

7. But if you look further… Electrical accessories (TC 23) Electromagnetic compatibility (TC 77) Multimedia (TC 100) Fuses (TC 32) Fibre optics (TC 86) Winding wires (TC 55) Cables, wires, waveguides (TC 46) Electric cables (TC 20) Household appliances (TCs 59 & 61) Lamps and related equipment (TC 34) Safety of information technology equipment (TC 108) Electrical installations and protection against electric shock (TC 64)

9. Achieving its Mission • To achieve its mission, the IEC works in three ways: • Through its National Committee members, • Through cooperative agreements, and • Directly • Fundamentally, it encourages national use of IEC International Standards and IEC Conformity Assessment Schemes

14. NCs: What are they? • Member bodies of the IEC are the National Committees, NCs – one per country • NCs represent in IEC each nation’s electrotechnical interests: • Manufacturers, utilities, suppliers, distributors, vendors • Governmental agencies (all levels) • Academia • Consumers, users • Professional societies, trade associations • Standards developers

15. NCs: What do they do? • Support the use of IEC conformity assessment schemes and standards within each nation and region, incl. translation • Coordinate each nation’s consensus viewpoint and present in IEC via participation in the meetings: • International consensus standards development, • Conformity assessment scheme operations, and • IEC governance • Members may vote on all policy issues and technical matters: one country, one vote

16. TCs: how they work • Technical committees and subcommittees are made up of • Secretariat • Chair • Members, which are NCs • All NCs are free to take part in the work of any TC, either • Actively (P-members), carrying the obligation to vote on drafts and to attend meetings; or • As observers (O-members), with a right to vote on FDIS

23. What is IECQ IECQ is the IEC International Conformity Assessment Scheme providing a single International Assessment and Certification System covering electronic components, related materials, sub assemblies and processes. IECQ therefore provides a single International Conformity Assessment tool to support the "Business to Business Supply Chain Management System".

24. { { Comply with These That These Technical Specifications Approved by IECQ And/ Or Relevant Standards Independent Confidence IECQ ? = Use of Suppliers Certified under the IECQ System provides confidence that components and processes, associated with final products, comply with stated Standards and Manufacturers’/Suppliers’ Technical Specifications and Data Sheets.

25. IECQ Mission IECQ's Mission Statement IECQ provides visibility and independent verification that electronic components and related materials and processes, including those below the user's level of specification in the supply chain, are compliant to relevant IEC standards and IECQ recognized specifications and quality requirements.
