97 FOREWORD
98 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
99 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
100 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
101 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
102 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
103 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
104 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -
105 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
106 with the International Organization for Standardizat
