The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the global organisation that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies, and runs the conformity assessment systems built on them. Founded in 1906 and based in Geneva, it brings together close to 170 countries, with about 30,000 experts working on its platform.
