July 2013. DIPAUL group hosted International Electrotechnical Commission meeting in St. Petersburg

29 june 2013

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a non-profit, non-governmental 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 three global conformity assessment systems that certify whether equipment, system or components conform to its International Standards.

All IEC International Standards are fully consensus-based and represent the needs of key stakeholders of every nation participating in IEC work. Every member country, no matter how large or small, has one vote and a say in what goes into an IEC International Standard.

Year 2013 meeting in St. Petersburg was attended by experts from 15 countries: Austria, China, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and USA.

Russian experts, members of National Technical Committee for Standardization (TC 072 Electrostatic): Ms. Chestnikova (DIPAUL group), Mr. Krivov (Metrological Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs) and Mr. Tregubov («ESD Expert») participated in the following groups meetings:

  • WG5 (IEC 61340-5-1, 5–2. Protection of electronic devices against static electricity),
  • МТ 8 (Maintenance of IEC 61340-2-1/-2/-3, Methods for testing static dissipative materials and surfaces)
  • JWG 13 (Safety requirements for industrial-process measurement, control and automation equipment, excluding functional safety)

Next TC 101 meeting will be held in France.
