Presently, the IEC standard has been widely applied in areas requiring electrical technical standards in Vietnam. In these sectors, auxiliary materials must also meet this standard to demonstrate safety for humans.
So, what is the IEC standard? Which organization does it belong to? Why is IEC battery testing standard necessary? Let's explore the answers with GPower Vietnam.
Understanding the IEC Electrical Standard
IEC stands for the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is a non-profit organization specialized in developing and issuing international standards for electrical engineering.
Founded in 1906, initially headquartered in London and later moved to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1948.
Around 20,000 experts from industrial laboratories, trade, government, testing and research, research institutes, and consumer groups participate in building IEC standards.
IEC is also the organization managing the conformity assessment system for electronic and electrical products and services, such as:
- + IECEE: A global conformity assessment and testing system for electrical equipment and components.
- + IECQ: Quality assessment system for electronic components and related materials.
- + IECEx: Certification system for standards related to electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
Why IEC Battery Testing Standards Are Needed
- IEC has close cooperation with many international standardization and technical organizations such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ITU (International Telecommunication Union); and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
Furthermore, IEC and ISO have established an agreement on the scope of their activities. ISO and IEC jointly set up a mixed technical committee on information technology placed within the structure of ISO (ISO/IEC/JTC1).
- Designing electrical systems according to the IEC standard from the International Electrotechnical Commission is a mandatory requirement in construction to prevent electrical incidents.
Currently, safety regulations in IEC 364 and IEC 479-1 are the basis for most standards worldwide.
- IEC standards contain appropriate evaluations for all electrical, electronic, and related technical industries. As a result, products meeting these standards are sure to meet the requirements of the global market.
- IEC standards contribute to developing high-quality, safe, and environmentally friendly products and services. IEC publications are considered a foundation for national standardization and a reference document for tender documents and international contracts.
Therefore, the IEC battery testing standard is introduced to standardize the quality and safety of batteries needed to bring products to the international consumer market.
