An IEC member is referred to as a National Committee (NC). Each National Committee represents its nation's electrotechnical interests. National Committees can include:

 

  • Manufacturers, providers, distributors and vendors
  • Consumers and users
  • All levels of governmental agencies
  • Professional societies and trade associations
  • Standards developers

 

Technical Committees (TCs) prepare standards and other technical publications, which are voted on prior to approval as international standards. See IEC Lighting Committees for more information on the Technical Committee for lighting products.
