What
is TC 111?
TC 111 strategic business plan
TC is short for
Technical Committee.
TC 111 is the IEC
Technical Committee for Environmental
Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and
Systems
IEC is short for the
International Electrotechnical Commission, the international
standards organization for electrical, electronic and related
technologies and for renewable energy.
Within the IEC, there
are 179 different technical committees and subcommittees that prepare
drafts of
international standards,
which are then submitted to the National Committees of member nations
for consideration and approval. Within each technical committee or
subcommittee, teams of experts are formed to develop international
standards in areas of perceived need. Within the terminology of the IEC,
working groups (WG)
are ongoing committees, whereas project teams (PT) disband when the
standard is approved and published.
The following table
lists the "work program" of TC 111, including standards that have been
published, standards under development, their current status and likely
publication dates. The IEC number for the standard is shown in red.
