International Electrotechnical Commission (deutsch: Internationale elektrotechnische Kommission)

Internationales Normierungsgremium für elektrotechnische Produkte. Die IEC ist damit unter Anderem auch zuständig für internationale Normen, die im Bereich Hifi gelten. Das DIN übernimmt diese für Deutschland und arbeitet seinerseits über die DKE (Deutsche Kommission Elektrotechnik) bei der Erstellung und Pflege der Normen mit.

IEC-Normen, die für den Hifi-Bereich Bedeutung haben, werden größtenteils vom TC 100 (Technical Committee) betreut und sind u.A.:

• 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 60908 (Compact disk digital audio system)
• IEC 60581 (High fidelity audio equipment and systems)
• IEC 60849 (Sound systems for emergency purposes )
• IEC 60933 (Audio, video and audiovisual systems - Interconnections and matching values)

• 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)
