IEC:-🔆International Electrotechnical Commission




🔆International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

✅India won the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Vice Presidency and Strategic Management Board (SMB) Chair for the 2023-25 term.

♻️International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) :

✅The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was founded in 1906 in London.

✅IEC is the world’s leading organisation for the preparation and publication of international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies which are collectively known as “electrotechnology”.

✅IEC International Standards serve as the basis for risk and quality management.

✅The IEC is a global not-for-profit membership organisation that helps collaborate with over 170 countries and coordinates the work of experts from across the world.

♻️Headquarters :

Geneva in Switzerland
Standardization Management Board (SMB) is an apex governance body of the IEC responsible for technical policy matters.

♻️India and IEC :

India started taking part in IEC in 1911 and subsequently, the then-Indian Standards Institution which is now the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) took over the responsibility of the Indian National Committee of IEC (INC-IEC) in 1949 from the Institution of Engineers. 

✅Since then the INC-IEC has been actively participating in the activities of the IEC both at the policy level and technical work and carrying out the responsibilities as a member body of the IEC Council.

✅The representation of BIS in policy and governance bodies of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and IEC ensures that Indian viewpoints on important strategic and policy matters are heard and also provides opportunities to align the national standardisation priorities with global best practices.

✅By securing about 90% of the votes cast by full members of IEC during its General Meeting held in San Francisco, USA, India’s representatives were elected as Vice President of IEC and the Chair of SMB for the 2023-25 term.

Vimal Mahendru will be the IEC Vice President representing India
