HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES n n n The Electrotechnical Division Council (ETDC) was constituted in 1957. The first standard in the field of electrotechnology was Safety of Electrical Appliances, IS 302 -1 published in 1951. Electronics and Information Technology Division Council was formed later in 1977

HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES (cotd. ) n n n Initially, assistance was drawn from British Standards while drafting Indian Standards. Subsequently, assistance was also derived from DIN and VDE standards, especially in the area of switchgears and motors. Assistance was also derived from ANSI, UL and JIS standards.

HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES (cotd. ) n n From the early 1980 s, ISO/IEC standards started to have greater international recognition Also, our being a signatory to GATT led to an obligation to adopt ISO/IEC standards. Being full member of both ISO and IEC facilitated adoption of these standards by BIS Several Indian standards are now based on ISO/IEC standards.

BIS and International Electrotechnical Commission n Member body of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Interaction with IEC for the development of International standards in the field of electrotechnology. Participating member on 42 Technical Committees and 35 sub committees of IEC related to electrotechnology, electronics and IT.

International Standards Organization (ISO) n n n Observer member on: ISO/TC 117 on Industrial Fans ISO/TC 43 on measurement of noise level of rotating electrical machinary ISO/TC 44 on electric welding equipment ISO/TC 178 for lifts
