New standards map for household appliances

The IEC has published a map🡭 for standards on the safety and performance of household appliances. The new map provides an overview of the safety and performance standards developed by the IEC that are available for a given type of electrical appliance.

The appliances are separated into two categories – household and commercial – based on their usage and then further categorized by their function type (i.e. heating and cooling, cleaning, well-being, etc). A list of standards for product types is listed, including links to the standards. It provides for users easy access to available standards relevant to the performance and safety of household appliances.

The IEC Mapping Platform provides a visual overview of the standards landscape using an easy-to-use interface. It graphically illustrates what standards exist and how they can be used together. It also provides links to further, relevant information.

The IEC Mapping Platform is available to the technical experts who can use it to better visualize their activities and to standards users who can better understand what standards are available and their relationship to each other. All IEC standards can be found in our e-shop.
