International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international organization founded in 1906 to develop and publish standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. It operates as a global network of national committees representing industry, governments, and technical experts. IEC standards cover areas including power systems, renewable energy, electronics, and industrial automation, supporting interoperability and safety across markets. Its work is carried out through technical committees, such as TC 88 for wind energy systems and TC 82 for solar photovoltaic energy systems.
