International Electrotechnical Commission (German: Internationale elektrotechnische Kommission)

International standardization body for electrotechnical products. The IEC is therefore also responsible for international Norms, which apply in the field of hi-fi. The DIN takes over these for Germany and works for its part via the DKE (German Commission for Electrical Engineering) in the creation and maintenance of the standards.

IEC standards that are relevant to the hi-fi sector are mostly maintained by TC 100 (Technical Committee) and include: IEC 60094 (Magnetic tape sound recording and reproducing systems) IEC 60098 (Rumble measurement on vinyl disc turntables) IEC 60268 (Sound system equipment) IEC 60386 (Wow and Flutter measurement (Audio))

  • IEC 60574 (Audio-visual, video and television equipment and systems)

IEC 60581 (High fidelity audio equipment and systems) IEC 60849 (Sound systems for emergency purposes) IEC 60908 (Compact disk digital audio system) IEC 60933 (Audio, video and audiovisual systems - Interconnections and matching values) IEC 60958 (Digital audio interface) IEC 61030 (Audio, video and audiovisual systems - Domestic Digital Bus (D2B)) IEC 61096 (Methods of measuring the characteristics of reproducing equipment for digital audio compact discs) IEC 61119 (Digital audio tape cassette system (DAT)) IEC 61305 (Household high-fidelity audio equipment and systems - Methods of measuring and specifying the performance) IEC/TR 61602 (Connectors used in the field of audio, video and audiovisual engineering) IEC 61603 (Transmission of audio and/or video and related signals using infra-red radiation) IEC 61606 (Audio and audiovisual equipment - Digital audio parts - Basic measurement methods of audio characteristics) IEC 61883 (Consumer audio/video equipment - Digital interface) IEC 61909 (Audio recording - Minidisc system) IEC 61937 (Digital audio - Interface for non-linear PCM encoded audio bitstreams applying IEC 60958) IEC 61938 (Audio, video and audiovisual systems - Interconnections and matching values - Preferred matching values of analogue signals) IEC 62002 (Mobile and portable DVB-T/H radio access) IEC 62087 (Methods of measurement for the power consumption of audio, video and related equipment) IEC 62104 (Characteristics of DAB receivers) IEC 62105 (Digital audio broadcast system - Specification of the receiver data interface (RDI))

  • IEC 62106 (Specification of the radio data system (RDS) for VHF/FM sound broadcasting in the frequency range from 87,5 to 108,0 MHz)
