The IEC composed National Committees from about countries.e. International and European standardization
And now let read something about the origin standards. First rules for basic use of
electricity were created the second half the last century first for the use the telegraph
and then for the safe use electrical light.
Besides these standards, there exist the so-called standards with horizontal function. IEC international standards (they may be
called world standards well) cover the entire range electrical and electronic engineering. the occasion one them,
in the year 1904 Louis (USA), was decided establish international organization
dealing with standardization the sphere electrical engineering. Among these standards can count terminological standards,
standards stating nominal rated values voltages, currents, frequencies, standards comprising
symbols for diagrams and for the use electrical equipment, devices, appliances. The organization was
established the constitutive meeting London 1906 and was named International
Electrotechnical Commission (the internationally used abbreviation IEC based the English
name, CEI based the French name). They may used both directly well for the
preparation specifications for international trade. standards immediately used for the design and construction
of some products, usually consist (especially the field the electrical engineering) many
references basic group standards (for the problems safety, electromagnetic compatibility,
environmental conditions, etc.
2. The papers
stating quality materials became the origin another big group standards material or
product standards. Product standards use terminology, symbols, and nominal or
rated values given horizontally functioning standards well.). Standards the sphere of
electrical engineering belong the oldest technical standards.
The rules for the use electricity became the origin big group standards, electrical rules
(wiring regulations, electrical code how these rules are called some countries). Many international
electrical conferences took place the turn the 19th century.2. Those
are the standards use should use not only connection with the other standards but
also the usual technical work.
Very soon became evident for electricians many countries that the international
exchange information the sphere electrical engineering inevitable. These countries
comprise the world population and consume about the world electrical
.
Therefore product standards, i. Some papers unifying description characteristics of
materials used for electrical purposes were written the second half the last century well. International standards published IEC form the
basis for regional and national standards.BASIC ELECTROTECHNICAL STANDARDS 13
