IEC TC 25

Last updated

IEC Technical Committee 25, "Quantities and units, and their letter symbols", was established in 1935. It is one of the technical committees of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

It merged with TC 24 and as a committee with "horizontal" responsibilities (i.e. covering matters of a wide-ranging nature and applicable by many “vertical” or product-oriented committees), it is in charge of all questions concerning the SI.

Among other standards it is responsible for parts 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 of ISO/IEC 80000.

International Electrotechnical Commission

The International Electrotechnical Commission is an international standards organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies – collectively known as "electrotechnology". IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies from power generation, transmission and distribution to home appliances and office equipment, semiconductors, fibre optics, batteries, solar energy, nanotechnology and marine energy as well as many others. The IEC also manages four global conformity assessment systems that certify whether equipment, system or components conform to its international standards.

IEC 60027 is a technical international standard for letter symbols published by the International Electrotechnical Commission, comprising the following parts:

The Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), also known as OpenDocument, is a ZIP-compressed XML-based file format for spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents. It was developed with the aim of providing an open, XML-based file format specification for office applications. It is also the default format for documents in typical Linux distributions.

In physics, the weber is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux. A flux density of one Wb/m2 is one tesla.

IEC 61850 is an international standard defining communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices at electrical substations. It is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) Technical Committee 57 reference architecture for electric power systems. The abstract data models defined in IEC 61850 can be mapped to a number of protocols. Current mappings in the standard are to MMS, GOOSE, SMV, and soon to Web Services. These protocols can run over TCP/IP networks or substation LANs using high speed switched Ethernet to obtain the necessary response times below four milliseconds for protective relaying.

IEC 61131 is an IEC standard for programmable controllers. It was known as IEC 1131 before the change in numbering system by IEC. The parts of the IEC 61131 standard are prepared and maintained by working group 7, programmable control systems, of subcommittee SC 65B of Technical Committee TC65 of the IEC.
