  • IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission. Electrical and electronic standards.
  • ISO: International Organization for Standardization. Management and general standards.
  • CIE: International Commission on Illumination. Lighting recommendations.
  • EN: European Standard. It replaces conflicting national standards in member countries.
  • National adoptions: many countries adopt IEC standards with their own number, for example IS (India), BS EN (UK), SASO IEC (Saudi Arabia), UL or ANSI versions (USA). The content is close to the IEC original, but check national deviations.
