International standards

In many areas, especially electro technical engineering, there are standards which are valid all over the world. The result of these worldwide efforts are 10,000 international standards which are used directly or can be added to the individual national standards. These international standards are defined by international standardization organizations.

ISO

90 countries work together through their national standardization institute in the International Standards Organization (ISO). A well-known example of ISO's work are the international standards for quality assurance systems ISO 9000 to 9004.

IEC

The International Electro technical Commission (IEC) is responsible for electro technical standards. In this area, there is nearly 100% agreement with the European harmonized standards, which is also evident in the fact that the numbering also matches.

CISPR

CISPR is the International Special Committee on Radio Interference. The goal of CISPR publications and recommendations is to protect radio transmission. CISPR publications mainly contain definitions for test procedures and limit values for radio disturbances for electrical and electronic products.
