About this Event

ILNAS is organizing a workshop dedicated to electrical and electrotechnical standardization and the associated certification systems on Wednesday, September 18th, 2024, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. In this context, it is with great pleasure that ILNAS will welcome Mr. Jo Cops, president of the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and Mr. Dan Sullivan, deputy secretary of IECEE (IEC System for Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components), who will provide a detailed overview of standardization within IEC, present the Young Professional programme, and provide information on the IECEE certification system, which is based on the standards developed by the organization, enabling the recognition of delivered certificates among all participating members.

IEC is the international standardization organization in charge of the standards development in the electrotechnical field. Along the publication of electrotechnical standards, its activities also cover the establishment of conformity assessment systems.

Complementary to the accreditation and certification, these conformity assessment systems base their principle on the recognition of delivered standards among member countries, reducing the international trade barriers. Moreover, this approach contributes to building “trust”, for the benefits of a client-supplier relationship. By basing the certification schemes on international standards, the customer is reinsured that the product is reliable, safe and of high-quality. This principle of certification is implemented via numerous conformity assessment systems, including the IECEE system which covers the following electrical consumer goods and professional equipment:

Batteries
Cables and Cords
Capacitors as components
Switches for appliances and automatic controls for electrical household appliances
Cyber Security
Energy Efficiency
Electrical Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Household and similar equipment
Industrial Automation
Installation accessories and connection devices
Information Technology Audio Video
Lighting
Measurement, Control and Laboratory equipment
Electrical equipment for medical use
Miscellaneous
IT and office equipment
Low voltage, high power switching equipment
Installation protective equipment
Photovoltaics
Safety transformers and similar equipment
Portable tools
Electronics, entertainment

ILNAS is inviting all interested parties to participate to this workshop in order to exchange about this topic and also to identify the market needs of the above-mentioned domains.
