Frequently Asked Questions

TC 112 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "Evaluation and qualification of electrical insulating materials and systems" and is responsible for: To prepare International Standards covering methods of evaluation and qualification for electrical and electronic insulating materials, and electrical insulation systems. Horizontal Safety Function: Test methods for resistance to tracking. NOTE: An electrical insulating material has negligibly low electric conductivity, used to separate conducting parts at different electrical potentials. An electrical insulating system is an insulating structure containing one or more electrical insulating materials together with associated conducting parts employed in an electrotechnical device. This committee has published 131 standards.

TC 112 develops IEC standards. The scope of work includes: To prepare International Standards covering methods of evaluation and qualification for electrical and electronic insulating materials, and electrical insulation systems. Horizontal Safety Function: Test methods for resistance to tracking. NOTE: An electrical insulating material has negligibly low electric conductivity, used to separate conducting parts at different electrical potentials. An electrical insulating system is an insulating structure containing one or more electrical insulating materials together with associated conducting parts employed in an electrotechnical device. Currently, there are 131 published standards from this technical committee.

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.
