Most likely it’s reasonable to assume that for profit interests receive benefits from persons using their standards.

I haven’t expended the effort to follow the money in regards to the International Electrotechnical Commission, where I don’t need to to make my point, I probably may not try to do so. Here in the US the National Electric Code is drafted by a for profit sector in the US. Yes there is cost in developing standards. Yes, that information should be free to anyone who wants it (including America’s adversaries, that want to wipe us – America, off the face of the earth!)”Ĭomparing that I quoted to standards is comparing apples to ranges, in an apparent attempt to use fear mongering, to get anyone like minded to ignorantly go “hell yea – that’s damned straight”. “Oh, and all those physics equations describing how a shock wave travels around the ‘tamper’ sorrounding a plutonium “pit” on a nuclear warhead. Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged documents, IEC, nuclear reactors, standards Post navigation And who knows, maybe your two cents, submitted to your country’s chapter of the IEC, will influence future international standards. They’ve even got a weekly update feature (in the registration pages) that’ll keep you up to date. Let us know in the comments if you find any gems. But on the other hand, if you are a private individual who knows a thing or two about a thing or two, we think you’re entirely right to look over their shoulders. Now, it does look like the IEC doesn’t want you sharing these PDFs around - they watermark them with your username and threaten all sorts of things if you use them for anything other than commenting purposes - so don’t go abusing the system. Head on over to the public commenting page, sign up, and you’ve got free access to every document that’s currently up for discussion. And by “those knowledgeable”, we mean you, dear hacker. Before the scribes touch their chisels to the stone tablets, there are draft versions of the standards that are open for public comment by those knowledgeable in the field. The IEC doesn’t just make the standards in a vacuum, however. They really, really don’t want you accessing their documents without first coughing up.

Unfortunately, this information is kept behind a paywall. Want to know how to electrically measure sound loudness? Test methods for digital door lock systems? Or maybe you’re interested in safety interlock systems for laser processing machines. How wide? Their mandate seems to span rules for household product safety to the specification of safety logic assemblies in nuclear power plants. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international body that issues standards on a wide range of electronics-related topics.
