IEC has an industry focus

• Industry driven organization

• 90% of technical committees officers

• Responds to industry needs in timely

fashion

• Focuses on market needs & industry

requirements


IEC and other organizations – Liaisons

• International – ISO, ITU, ILO, WHO, IMO,

OIML, BIPM …

• Regional – CENELEC (Dresden

agreement), COPANT, AFSEC, ASEAN,

Mercosur

• Other organizations – IEEE, CIE, CIGRE

• Industrial associations – EACEM, DLNA,

PROFIBUS, WFUMB …

Currently 156 organizations in liaison


How IEC standards are developed

• Established standards development

process

• National Committees involved at each

stage

• Technical committees established for

specific fields of activity


Standards development stages

• New Proposal NP

• Working Draft WD

• Committee Draft CD

• Committee Draft for Vote CDV

• Final Draft International Standard FDIS

• International Standard IS


Standards or product design

• Standards may be for products, services,

processes

• Good standards talk not about the “how”,

but about the desired result

• The standard specifies the performance,

safety, external characteristics, ...

• There will be many ways of designing the

product to conform to these aspects


Ensuring global relevance

• IEC Global relevance policy

• Inclusion of essential differences

• Environment

• Infrastructure


WTO (TBT, Annex 4) In order to serve the interests of the WTO membership in facilitating international trade and preventing unnecessary trade barriers, international standards need to be relevant and to effectively respond to regulatory and market needs, as well as scientific and technological developments in various countries. They should not distort the global market, have adverse effects on fair competition, or stifle innovation and technological development. In addition, they should not give preference to the characteristics or requirements of specific countries or regions when different needs or interests exist in other countries or regions. Whenever possible, international standards should be performance based rather than based on design or descriptive characteristics.


How IEC standards are used

• National adoption

• National or regional adoption

• Formal adoption process in some

countries

• Used directly by reference in regulation


How IEC standards are used

• Regulation

• Safety

• Health

• Environment

• Electromagnetic Compatibility


Benefits for end-users

• Comparison to specific parameters

• Possess knowledge for better choice of

future actions

• Choose product or service from

competing alternatives

• Opportunity to test & compare

• Simplified life


Economic benefits

• Positive effect on innovation

• Positive effect on growth, particularly on

exports

• Promote intra-industry trade and lead to

international competitiveness

• Encourage technology transfer

• Economic benefits of standardization ~

1% of GNP

Conformity assessment

• Global

• Multilateral

• Based on International Standards

• IECEE (www.iecee.org)

• IECEx (www.iecex.com)

• IECQ (www.iecq.org)


Types of conformity assessment

• 1st party

• 2nd party

• 3rd party


IEC conformity assessment systems

• Fundamental principles:

• Peer assessment

• Mutual recognition



IEC 60335-2-24

How it works – Part 1

• Manufacturer makes a fridge

• The laboratory tests the product for conformity

• The certification body issues a certificate


How it works - Part 2

• Manufacturer now wishes to sell the fridge in another country

• Manufacturer sends the certificate to a certification body in the second country


How it works – Part 3

• Second certification body

issues its certification

mark without having to re-

test the fridge

• Manufacturer may export

the product to that country


One test

One certification

One mark


The ideal target

IEC conformity assessment systems

• Build confidence

• Reduce costs

• Accelerate market access

• Expand markets

• Support global trade
