FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all

national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-

operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in

addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation

is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may

participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with

the IEC also participate in this preparation.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and Standards Coordinating Committees of the

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus

development process, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the

final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of IEEE and serve without compensation. While IEEE

administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE

does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.

Use of IEEE Standards documents is wholly voluntary. IEEE documents are made available for use subject to

important notices and legal disclaimers (see http://standards.ieee.org/IPR/disclaimers.html for more information).

IEC collaborates closely with IEEE in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two

organizations.

2) The formal decisions of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of

opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National

Committees. The formal decisions of IEEE on technical matters, once consensus within IEEE Societies and

Standards Coordinating Committees has been reached, is determined by a balanced ballot of materially interested

parties who indicate interest in reviewing the proposed standard. Final approval of the IEEE standards document is

given by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board.

3) IEC/IEEE Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees/IEEE Societies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content

of IEC/IEEE Publications is accurate, IEC or IEEE cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or

for any misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

(including IEC/IEEE Publications) transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional

publications. Any divergence between any IEC/IEEE Publication and the corresponding national or regional

publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC and IEEE do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC and IEEE are not responsible for

any services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or IEEE or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts

and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies and the

Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board, for any

personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs

(including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC/IEEE

Publication or any other IEC or IEEE Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of material

covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or

validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for identifying

Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope

of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission

of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this

standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of

such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
