lites.asia and the IEC
A large number of countries within the Asia region have national commitments to adopt International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards whenever appropriate. However, due to the current make-up of IEC management and technical committees, standards are not always developed in a way appropriate for use in the Asia region.
