What does IEC mean?
The abbreviation IEC stands for “International Electrotechnical Commission“. The commission is based in Geneva.
  • International voting on the content of standards for worldwide standardisation. Each member body country may submit proposed modifications of existing standards and request for new standards.
  • Germany is one of the few industrial countries that are leading in the field of standardisation.
  • After acceptance of the standard by the member countries, each country is allowed to harmonise it in a national version.
Thus, in Europe the national standard DIN EN 60439-1 with same content results from the international standard IEC 60439-1. This also conforms to the national VDE 0660 part 500.
