Abstract:

``The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields of electrotechnology.'' It maintains a World-Wide Web site at http://www.iec.ch/ This should not be confused with the International Engineering Consortium, which has a Web site at http://www.iec.org/. This comment from http://www.iec.ch/pubnose.htm is relevant if you are looking for a particular IEC Standard: ``As from 1997 all new IEC publications and parts, as well as new editions, revisions and amendments to existing publications are being issued with a designation in the 60000 series. It will be necessary to add 60000 to the existing base number. Renumbering of all IEC publications, including amendments has taken place in all bibliographic reference material (the IEC databases used to source information on the IEC web site and the IEC Catalogue in particular). All users should be aware that older publications, printed before 1997 will continue to carry the old series of numbers on printed copies, until they are revised, but that these older publications will appear with the new 60000 numbers in both bibliographic reference material and on invoices. At the same time, all the project numbers relating to work in progress in the IEC have also been renumbered in accordance with the same principles (i.e. with a number in the 60000 series).''
