Frequently Asked Questions

TC 94 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "Electrical relays" and is responsible for: To prepare international standards applicable to electromechanical and solid state electrical relays (e.g. electromechanical relays, solid state relay, reed contacts, reed switches, reed relay, time relays and technology combinations of these) used in the various fields of electrical Engineering. Products covered by the scope are elementary relays (e.g. electromechanical relays, solid state relays, coupling relays, reed relays), reed contacts, reed switches, time relays and technology combinations of these. Electrical relays are normally produced in very large numbers as components of electromechanical or electronic equipment and eventually submitted to Quality Assurance requirements based on sampling techniques. Excluded from TC 94 scope are all devices covered by standards of TC 95 (Measuring relays and protection equipment). This committee has published 103 standards.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.

A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
