Technology sectors

The IEC covers a vast array of technologies in its standardization and conformity assessment activities. Those technologies cover the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, and the products and systems that use that electricity, as well as their interoperability, environmental impact, performance and safety.

 

If you are more familiar with the technologies, you may wish to review the technologies by the IEC Technical Committees & Subcommittees.
