The goal of IEC is to effectively meet the needs of the global market; Ensure that its standards and conformity assessment plans are used to the greatest extent in the world; Evaluate and improve the product quality and service quality involved in its standards; Create conditions for * * * to use complex systems together; Improve the effectiveness of the industrialization process; Improving human health and safety; Protect the environment.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was established in 1906. It is the earliest international electrotechnical standardization organization in the world, responsible for international standardization in the fields of electrical engineering and electronic engineering. At the six international electrotechnics conferences held in 1887- 1900, the participating experts agreed that it is necessary to establish a permanent international electrotechnical standardization organization to solve the problems of electrical safety and standardization of electrical products.
Purpose of IEC
The purpose of IEC is to promote international cooperation in standardization and related issues in the field of electrical and electronic engineering and enhance international mutual understanding. In order to achieve this goal, IEC has published various publications, including international standards. It is hoped that members can use these standards in their own standardization work if their own conditions permit. In the past 20 years, the work field and organization scale of IEC have developed greatly. Today, the number of IEC members has increased from 35 in 1960 to 173, covering 99% of the global population.
At present, the work field of IEC has expanded from simply studying the terminology and power of electrical equipment and motors to all aspects of electrical technology such as electronics, electric power, microelectronics and its applications, communication, audio-visual, robotics, information technology, new medical devices and nuclear instruments. IEC standard has covered 35% of the products in the world market, and this number will reach 50% by the end of this century.
