If you are in a country that is a member of the IEC, please contact your National Committee for information about how you can participate in preparing International Standards.

If you are in a country that is not a member, but still wish to participate, please contact us at Central Office in Geneva. We have an Affiliate Country Programme that offers industrializing countries a form of participation in the IEC without the financial burden of actual membership, making full use of all IT tools to reduce costs of participation to virtually zero. The programme has two principal aims:

• To encourage greater awareness and use of IEC international standards in newly industrializing countries; and
• To help newly industrializing countries understand and participate in the work of the IEC.
