The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international organization that develops and publishes standards related to the field of electrotechnology. The IEC is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has members in over 170 countries.

The main role of the IEC is to promote international cooperation and standardization in the field of electrotechnology in order to ensure the safety, reliability, and efficiency of electrical and electronic products, systems, and services. The IEC develops and publishes a wide range of standards, technical reports, and other documents related to topics such as electrical safety, renewable energy, and information technology.

In addition to its standardization activities, the IEC also provides training and technical support to its member countries and organizes conferences and other events to promote the exchange of technical knowledge and expertise. The IEC is funded through membership fees and the sale of its standards and other publications.

The IEC works closely with other international organizations, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in order to coordinate the development of standards and promote international cooperation in the field of electrotechnology.

The IEC has members in over 170 countries. Membership in the IEC is open to national electrotechnical committees, which are organizations that are responsible for coordinating the development and use of standards within their respective countries.

Each member country of the IEC appoints a national committee to represent its interests in the organization. The national committees are responsible for participating in the standardization process, providing input and feedback on draft standards, and promoting the use of IEC standards within their respective countries.

In addition to the national committees, the IEC also has a number of other types of members, including international electrotechnical committees, international organizations, and individual experts. These members contribute their expertise and experience to the standardization process and help to ensure that the standards developed by the IEC are relevant and practical.

The IEC is funded through membership fees and the sale of its standards and other publications. Members of the IEC are entitled to receive a range of benefits, including access to technical information and resources, opportunities to participate in standardization activities, and discounts on the purchase of IEC standards and other publications.
