Overview#

ISO is the standards body for nearly everything that is not electrical. It is also the IEC's partner when a topic needs to cover all industries at once.

Why it appears here#

Material declaration started in electronics, which is IEC territory, but the same problem exists in every sector. The planned IEC/ISO 82474-1 is a joint, dual-logo standard. ISO brings the cross-industry reach, and IEC brings the proven IEC 62474 model.
