IEC/SC 23C - World-wide plug and socket-outlet systems
To prepare dimensional standards for a world-wide unified system for plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for cord-extension sets for household and similar general purposes. To eleborate the basis characterics of a modular system, if possible suitable for all kinds of household installations and the definition of principles for its use. To co-ordinate information for the introduction of the unified system and to make all efforts to ensure the harmonization of supplementary or transitional configurations necessary for certain countries, as stated by TC 64
