- The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC; in French: Commission électrotechnique internationale) is an international standards organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies – collectively known as “electrotechnology". IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies from power generation, transmission and distribution to home appliances and office equipment, semiconductors, fibre optics, batteries, solar energy, nanotechnology and marine energy as well as many others. The IEC also manages four global conformity assessment systems that certify whether equipment, system or components conform to its international standards.
All electrotechnologies are covered by IEC Standards, including energy production and distribution, electronics, magnetics and electromagnetics, electroacoustics, multimedia, telecommunication and medical technology, as well as associated general disciplines such as terminology and symbols, electromagnetic compatibility, measurement and performance, dependability, design and development, safety and the environment.

- QUOTE: The IEC Glossary is a compilation of electrotechnical terminology in English and French extracted from the “Terms and Definitions " clause of IEC publications (those issued since 2002). This compilation only compiles the terms in the publications issued BEFORE 2015. In some cases terms and definitions have also been collected from earlier publications (e.g. from TC 37, 77, 86 and CISPR). The database contains currently some 67 000 items drawn from 3 000 publications, with new ones being added on a continuous basis.

- QUOTE: IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes standards concerning electrical technologies, of which a truly wide variety exists in today's modern world. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, IEC standards reach over 150 countries. The world's leading standards organization in its field, IEC plays the crucial role of coordinating efforts carried out in different countries and unifying them, such as the development of various units of measurement and the standardization of the modern form of the metric system. The eSS now contains the complete collection of IEC published standards, organized into 43 new categories.
