Country names

Estimated reading: 1 minute

The IEC official reference for the country names is the UN member list: go.iec.ch/iecsgunmember

 

In articles, link the country name to the IEC National Committee of the IEC member web page, not to the organization page
[see example 1]

 

When this organization is the same as the national standards body of the country, we refer to it as the organization that hosts the secretariat of the [XX] National Committee of the IEC, or the IEC National Committee of XX [see examples 2]
