Organizations and standards 3.1 Organizations Interest groups ZVEI, ZVEH, VDMA, CAPIEL (EU) are major associations that assist their members with the interpretation of standards. These associations are not directly involved in the standardization process, but members of the associations may well be members of standardization committees. IECEE or CEE German: Internationale Kommission fьr die Regelung der Zulassung elektrischer Ausrьstungen English: International Commission on Rules for the approval of Electrical Equipment The IEC uses the name IECEE to refer to Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components.
This body comprises a large number of certification institutes and test laboratories and was integrated into the IEC in 1985. A list of the member states organized in IECEE can be found in the appendix (Page 343). The CEN is the largest of the three major European standards organizations for all technical sectors. CENELEC (electrotechnical standards) and ETSI (telecommunications standards) are the other two standards organizations charged with developing standards for all 27 member states of the European Union.
