The IEC Structure

The IEC mission
4
“… to promote international cooperation on all questions of standardization ….in the fields of electricity, electronics and related technologies … which arespecified for the purpose of trade and commerce … and to meet expectationsfor an improved quality of life.”
IEC Stakeholders: the NATIONAL COMMITTEES:
CLIENTS
publish mandatory National Standards based on IEC publications
SUPPLIERS
Esperts are nominated by NCs
NCs finance IEC activity
NCs are responsible to mediate among different interests
The IEC adopts a VOLUNTARY CONSENSUS process
The CONSENSUS concept
CONSENSUS: General agreement characterized by theabsence of sustained opposition to substantial issues by anyimportant part of the concerned interests and by a processthat involves seeking to take into account the views of allparties concerned and to reconcile any conflicting arguments.
NOTE: Consensus need not imply unanimity.
Customer - supplier agreement
Consistent standard quality level
Product and service interoperability
Competitive, fair and democratic process (1 Country - 1 Vote)
Effective Management of technical meetings5
The strength of the IEC: 162 countries
81 Members 81 Affiliates
> 90% world population> 95% world PIL> 98% world electrical power
6
The role of Standards
To supply “trusted” answers in the field of appliedtechnologies
To respond toneeds of users and suppliers in a global
context of use
To define products, protocols and interfaces (“common languages”) toallow and promote the exchange of
products and services in a safe, interoperable and effective way.
7
Two contrasting needs…
“GLOBAL RELEVANCE”
To publish standards up-to-date with technological evolution, to avoid the proliferation of “de facto” standards which may result difficult to eradicate
To avoid publishing premature (or immature) standards, which may slow down technological progress or block the market
8
To publish “relevant” and “global” standards with the objective to direct manufacturers and users toward safe, flexible, interoperable and cheap products, suited to:
avoid proliferating limited-use (“parochial”) standards
guarantee transverse compatibility
stimulate competition in a multivendor environment
guarantee time to market for standards
broaden the market (“trade and commerce”)
Global Relevance
9
Global Relevance
IS’s should not give preference to characteristics or requirements of specific countries or regions when different needs or interests exist in other countries or regions
IS’s should be performance based rather than based on design or descriptive characteristics
IS’s need to be relevant and to effectively respond to regulatory and market needs
IIS’s should not distort the global market, have adverse effects on fair competition, or stifle innovation and technological development

The TC86 innovation: from “product” standards…
… proliferation ofspecific standards
related to single products and
single suppliers
… freezingdevelopment in rapidly evolving
technologies
… increasing the time to develop
and publishstandards
… impeding a global approach to
standardization
16
Interface standards: to guarantee transverse
compatibility(interexchangeability) among products from
different suppliers
Performance standards: to define minimum
performance of productsas a function of the
application and of the envioronment
Test and measurementstandards:
to define test and measurement
procedures valid fordifferent products
Reliability standardsto assess test severitywith the objective tosimulate use and to
evaluate productcapability of end-of-life
performance
… to the global standards system
17
TC/SCs can have different functions:Product function – role of a supplierSystem function – role of a customerTCs/SCs may have both product and system functions
depending on the system(s) in which they operateNo hierarchy between TC/SCs with different functions
Encourage TC/SCs to better understand the standardization environment in which they operate
Promote communication, reciprocity and cooperation between TC/SCs
Minimize conflicts between TC/SCs
