About the IEC
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes
International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.

About the IEEE
IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for
the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through its highly cited publications,
conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

About IEC/IEEE publications
The technical content of IEC/IEEE publications is kept under constant review by the IEC and IEEE. Please make sure
that you have the latest edition, a corrigendum or an amendment might have been published.
