13、nternational Electrotechnical Commission)is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees(IEC National Committees).The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electro
14、nic fields.Tothis end and in addition to other activities,the IEC publishes International Standards.Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees;any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work.International,governmental and non-governm
15、ental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation.The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organizationfor Standardization(ISO)in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the twoorganizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on
16、technical matters express,as nearly as possible,aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards,technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.4)In order to promote international unification,IEC National Committees undertake to app
