IEC TS 62565-4-3:2026, which is a Technical Specification, establishes a blank detail specification (BDS) for quantum dot enabled light emitting diodes (QLEDs) used for printed light emitting diodes (LEDs).
This document is intended to be used for display applications.
The relevant key control characteristics (KCCs) include optical, physical, chemical, and structural properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs). For each KCC listed, methods and existing standards for their measurement are reported. The applicability of such methods and standards to different material categories (physical forms) of QDs, for example colloidal solution, inks, films, is indicated.
Numeric values for the KCCs are left blank as they will be specified between customer and supplier in the detail specification (DS). In the DS, KCCs can be added or removed if agreed between customer and supplier.

IEC TS 62607-6-36:2026, which is a Technical Specification, establishes a standardized method to determine the key control characteristic
• reduction status
for graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by
• ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis).
The reduction status is not a quantitative value, but rather a compilation (table) of six parameters extracted from UV-Vis absorption spectra. These six parameters can be obtained from GO and rGO as follows:
(1) the peak location of GO, (2) the shoulder peak of GO, (3) the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the main absorption peak of GO, (4) the peak location of rGO, (5) FWHM of the main absorption peak of rGO and (6) the spectral peak shifts between GO and rGO.
• The method is applicable to the characterization of GO and rGO materials (where rGO is obtained from the corresponding GO) produced by different reduction techniques, as well as to commercial products in solution or film form.
• Individual GO or rGO materials can also be characterized, but only partial parameters can be obtained. Specifically, peak location, FWHM, and shoulder peak can be measured from each GO or rGO material, while peak shift requires both GO and its corresponding rGO for comparison.
• The method is suitable for quality assurance and for monitoring the reduction process during the production of rGO.
• The method does not provide full chemical analysis. Complementary techniques can be required beyond the UV-Vis spectral features.

IEC 63522-46:2026 is used for testing along with the appropriate severities and conditions for measurements and tests designed to assess the ability of DUTs to perform under expected conditions of transportation, storage and all aspects of operational use.
This document defines a standard test method for impulse voltage test.

IEC 61514:2026 specifies tests designed to determine the static and dynamic performance of single-acting or double-acting analogue positioners. The tests apply to positioners which receive standard analogue input signals (as specified in IEC 60381-1, IEC 60381-2 and IEC 60382) and have a pneumatic output. Positioners with pulsed or digital input signals, positioners with digital controllers and positioners with pulsed outputs are outside the scope of this document. Testing is conducted either on a positioner alone, independently of an actuator, or on a positioner mounted and connected to a specific actuator, as a combined unit. The text makes clear where different approaches are required. The methods of evaluation given in this document are intended for use by manufacturers to determine the performance of their products, and by users, or independent testing establishments, to verify manufacturers' performance specifications. The closest liaison between the evaluating body and the manufacturer is indispensable during the tests, including the possibility for the manufacturer to influence the test programme based on the manufacturer's specifications for the instrument and comment on both the test programme and the results. This document is intended to provide definitions of positioner elements, actions, and characteristics, to specify uniform methods of measuring performance errors and effects of influence quantities on those characteristics, and to describe methods of reporting and evaluating the results of the measurement data obtained. The test conditions described in this publication (for example range of ambient temperatures and power supply) relate to conditions which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified are used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer or user. If other values are used, they will be stated. It is recognized that the manufacturer's specifications and instructions for installation and operation apply during all steps. The tests specified in this document are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically designed for unusually arduous conditions. Conversely, a reduced series of tests can serve adequately for instruments designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions. When a full evaluation, in accordance with this document, is not required or possible, only the tests which are required are performed and the results reported in accordance with the relevant parts of this document. In such cases, the test report will state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

ISO PAS 15118-23:2026 This document specifies conformance tests in the form of an abstract test suite (ATS) for a system under test (SUT) that implements an electric-vehicle communication controller (EVCC) or a supply-equipment communication controller (SECC) for all direct current (DC)-specific requirements specified in ISO 15118-20 that are associated to the DC charging type. These conformance tests specify the testing of capabilities and behaviours of an SUT, as well as checking what is observed against the conformance requirements specified in ISO 15118-20 and against what the implementer states the SUT implementation's capabilities are.
The capability tests within the ATS check that the observable capabilities of the SUT are in accordance with the static conformance requirements defined in ISO 15118-20. The behaviour tests of the ATS examine an implementation as thoroughly as practical over the full range of dynamic conformance requirements defined in ISO 15118-20 and within the capabilities of the SUT.
The test architecture for this document is inherited from the test architecture specified in ISO 15118-21. If further aspects for DC-specific requirements are necessary, they extend this architecture and are specified in this document. The abstract test cases in this document are described leveraging this test architecture and are specified in descriptive tabular format covering the ISO/OSI layer 3 to 7 (network to application layers).
In terms of coverage, this document only covers normative sections and requirements in ISO 15118-20. This document can additionally refer to specific tests for requirements on referenced standards (e.g. IETF RFCs, W3C Recommendation, etc.) if they are relevant in terms of conformance for implementations according to ISO 15118-20. However, it is explicitly not intended to widen the scope of this conformance specification to such external standards, if it is not technically necessary for the purpose of conformance testing for ISO 15118-20. Furthermore, the conformance tests specified in this document do not include the assessment of performance nor robustness or reliability of an implementation. They cannot provide judgments on the physical realization of abstract service primitives, how a system is implemented, how it provides any requested service, nor the environment of the protocol implementation. Furthermore, the abstract test cases defined in this document only consider the communication protocol and the system's behaviour defined ISO 15118-20. Power flow between the EVSE and the EV is not a prerequisite for the test cases specified in this document.

IEC TS 62001-3:2026 provides in-depth consideration regarding three particularly important aspects of design, which are also mentioned elsewhere in other parts of the IEC 62001 series, which are: AC network impedance modelling, the treatment of pre‑existing harmonics in performance and rating calculations, and harmonic interaction across converters (cross-modulation).
This document concentrates on passive AC filter technology and line-commutated high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converters, but much of the content is equally relevant to VSC converter technology. Where there is a distinction, this is indicated in the text.
The scope of this document covers AC side filtering for the frequency range of interest in terms of harmonic distortion and audible frequency disturbances. It excludes filters specifically designed to be effective in the PLC and radio interference spectra.

IEC 60730-2-24:2026 applies to automatic displacement electrical controls
- for use in, on, or in association with appliances for household and similar use;
NOTE 1 Through this document, the word "control" means "displacement electrical control".
EXAMPLE 1 Displacement electrical controls used in electrical pressure cookers with gross volume up to 25 l, with working pressure over 4 kPa and less than 150 kPa.
- that are AC or DC powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V AC or 600 V DC;
- used in, on, or in association with equipment that use electricity;
- that are mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to change of position of point of action.
NOTE 2 Requirements for manual switches not forming part of an automatic control are covered in IEC 61058‑1‑1.
This document applies to
- inherent safety of automatic electro-mechanical displacement electrical controls;
- functional safety of automatic electro-mechanical displacement electrical controls;
- the operating values, operating times, and operating sequences where such are associated with equipment safety;
- displacement electrical controls having temperature sensing element(s), in which cases additional requirements can be considered to be necessary. Requirements for temperature sensing controls are included in IEC 60730-2-9.
This document specifies the requirements for construction, operation and testing of automatic displacement electrical controls used in, on, or in association with equipment.
This document does not
- apply to automatic electronic controls;
- take into account the response value of an automatic action of a control, if such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the control in the equipment. Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer applies.
NOTE 3 For more information about guidance to the application of displacement electrical controls, see Annex AA.
This part 2-24 is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 60730-1. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition of that standard (2022). Consideration may be given to future editions of, or amendments to, IEC 60730‑1. This part 2-24 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60730-1, so as to convert that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for displacement electrical controls. Where this part 2-24 states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant require­ment, test specification or explanatory matter in Part 1 should be adapted accordingly. Where no change is necessary, part 2-24 indicates that the relevant clause or subclause applies.

IEC 60127-7:2026 covers requirements for miniature fuse-links for special applications. This part of IEC 60127 is applicable to fuse-links with a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated breaking capacity not exceeding 50 kA. It does not apply to fuses completely covered by the subsequent parts of IEC 60269-1. It does not apply to miniature fuse-links for appliances intended to be used under special conditions, such as in corrosive or explosive atmospheres.

IEC TS 62332-1:2026 specifies a dual-temperature test procedure for the thermal evaluation and qualification of electrical insulation systems (EISs). This document is applicable to EISs containing solid and liquid components where the thermal ageing factor is dominant, without restriction to voltage class. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Modifications have been made based on an extensive test series conducted using this methodology based on the first edition. This included updating expected times and temperatures to use in order to get useful results, as well as making the range of equipment covered more broad. The method now covers electrotechnical devices using different sealing systems, as well as devices using enamel covered wires.

IEC 61803:2026 applies to all high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations with line-commutated converters (LCC) as well with voltage-sourced converters (VSC) used for power exchange (power transmission or back-to-back installation) in utility systems. For line-commutated converters (LCC), this document presumes the use of 12-pulse thyristor converters but can, with due care, also be used for 6-pulse thyristor converters. Where VSC is referred to in this document, it is assumed to be of the MMC-type or similar, with very low harmonic generation. It is important to treat other types of VSC as appropriate. In some applications, synchronous compensators, static var compensators (SVC), or static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are connected to the AC bus of the HVDC converter station. The loss determination procedures for such equipment are not included in this document. This document presents a set of standard procedures for determining the total losses of an HVDC converter station, except for VSC valves which are covered by the IEC 62751 series. The procedures cover all parts, except as noted above, and address no-load operation and operating losses together with their methods of calculation which use, wherever possible, measured parameters. Converter station designs employing novel components or circuit configurations compared to the typical design assumed in this document, or designs equipped with unusual auxiliary circuits that can affect the losses, are assessed on their own merits.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) HVDC stations with voltage-sourced converters (VSC) technology have been included;
b) to facilitate the application of this document and to ensure its quality remains consistent, 5.1.8 and 5.8 have been reviewed, taking into consideration that the present thyristor production technology provides considerably less thyristor parameters dispersion comparing with the situation in 1999 when the first edition of IEC 61803 was developed; therefore, the production records of thyristors can be used for the power losses calculation;
c) the calculation of the total station load losses (cases D1 and D2 in Annex C) has been corrected.

Non-active modes for lighting equipment and the measurement of power is specified in IEC 63103.
Edge equipment can also include auxiliary batteries.
Annex A shows the conceptual framework of power modes and functions.
This document does not specify safety requirements. It does not specify minimum performance requirements nor does it set maximum limits on power or energy use.
This document has the status of a group energy efficiency publication in accordance with IEC Guide 118.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) expansion of the scope in line with the approved horizontal application of this standard;
b) inclusion of battery powered and DC powered devices;
c) complete revision and expansion of the definitions (this has been done in conjunction with TC 100/TA19 JWG2 and the definitions in this document and IEC 63734:2026 for networked standby are fully aligned);
d) clarification that this document covers all non-active modes except for networked standby mode(s), which is covered by IEC 63734:2026;
