2

Use CA system to indicate a conformity assessment system as defined in ISO/IEC 17000. It shall not be used to indicate one of the IEC CA Systems, i.e. IECEE, IECEx, IECQ and IECRE

3

Do not use IEC System, IEC system, or System

4

As much as possible, avoid to use IECEE CA System, or IECEx CA System, etc. Use instead IECEE System, IECEx System, etc.
