Operating theatre | Rome, Italy
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) releases draft standards Committee Drafts for Votes (CDV’s) that are open for public review and comment; contingent upon national policies and coordination with national standards bodies such as USNC/IEC. (The Secretariat for Technical Committee 85 is China). The strategic business plan for this committee is linked below:
IEC TC 85 Strategic Business Plan SMB 6093/R
We curate global standards action for the user interest in the education industry and university-affiliated medical research and healthcare delivery enterprises here. The education industry in every nation is a large market for electrotechnology products and systems. Of particular interest to subject matter experts in several building technologies involving electrotechnology may be a recent release by IEC Technical Committee 85 on how to measure electrical safety in low voltage electrical systems up to 1000 volts. Several redlines are now open for public review:
85/632/CDV | IEC 61557-4 ED3: Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 4: Resistance of earth connection and equipotential bonding
85/633/CDV | IEC 61557-5 ED3: Electrical safety in low voltage distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. – Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring of protective measures – Part 5: Resistance to earth
Comments are due in Geneva by May 4th. Because access to these redlines is “coordinated” we typically refer this the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee (which meets online again on Tuesday, February 27th) Of course, the IEC suite and all other international standards that invite direct are on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconferences every Wednesday at 11 AM Eastern time. e.
