In order to distinguish standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission numerically from other international standards, their number range was shifted in 1997 by adding 60000. So what used to be called IEC 27 is now officially IEC 60027, and so on. However, the old numbers remain commonly used. [1] The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international standards organization dealing with electrical, electronic and related technologies. ... Standards are produced by many organizations, some for internal usage only, others for use by a groups of people, groups of companies, or a subsection of an industry. ...
