IEC TR 63225:2019 highlights the problem of incompatibility of connectors for DC-application in photovoltaic systems (DC connectors) produced by different manufacturers. It addresses four particular issues in that context: background information on incompatibility of DC connectors from different manufacturers; observations and challenges concerning the handling of DC connectors from…

Humans use words, diagrams, images, context, but also sounds, facial expressions or body language to be understood. Machines use data and information models as well as algorithms to manipulate information, and human concepts need to be translated for machine use. Due to the exponentially growing number of systems that collect, process, and share data, machines increasingly need to be able to…

This Standard specifies minimum requirements in protecting human values and incorporating ethics in the design and use of automated decision systems. This Standard is limited to artificial intelligence (AI) using machine learning for automated decisions. This Standard applies to all organizations, including public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations. It…

IEC TR 63228:2019 summarises present perspectives on the performance evaluation of emerging PV technologies, specifically OPV, DSC and PSC devices. These devices present some challenges for accurate measurement under the existing IEC 60904 series of standards, which were developed in the context of silicon wafer solar cells. These challenges can be different for different devices, but in general…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuously making inroads into domains previously reserved to humans. Robots support workers in the manufacturing sector; digital assistants automate office tasks; intelligent appliances order food based on owners’ preferences or control lighting and temperature in the home in preparation of their arrival. Increasingly sophisticated algorithms have the potential…

ISO 18522:2016 specifies the procedures for determining the cross direction profiles of physical properties of paper and board using automated off-line testers. Where available for a given measurement, the relevant International Standard is referred to. It is applicable to most kinds of paper and board, but is not relevant for tissue and corrugated board. In ISO 18522:2016, it is left to the…

Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces. However, one fifth of the world population still lacks access to energy. The interconnection of grids would open up an unprecedented opportunity to globally share the resources of the whole planet, bringing clean energy to everybody, everywhere in the world. Global energy interconnection (GEI) is technically…

1.1 This Standard specifies essential elements for using chemical processes to sterilize medical devices in health care settings, with the object of achieving an adequate level of sterility assurance and minimizing the risk of injury to health care setting personnel and patients. Note: The term “health care setting” includes, but is not limited to, hospitals, free standing surgical centres,…

IEC 60436:2015 applies to electric dishwashers for household and similar use that are supplied with hot and/or cold water. The object is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of electric dishwashers for household and similar use and to describe the standard methods of measuring these characteristics. This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with minimum…

ISO/TS 17975:2015 defines the set of frameworks of consent for the Collection, Use and/or Disclosure of personal information by health care practitioners or organizations that are frequently used to obtain agreement to process the personal health information of subjects of care. This is in order to provide an Informational Consent framework which can be specified and used by individual policy…
