ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is the primary organization for fostering the
development of technology standards in the United States. ANSI works with industry groups and
is the U.S. member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC; in French: Commission

lectrotechnique internationale (CEI)) is a non-profit, non-governmental international standards
organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and
related technologies collectively known as "electrotechnology". IEC standards cover a vast
range of technologies from power generation, transmission and distribution to home appliances
and office equipment, semiconductors, fibre optics, batteries, solar energy, nanotechnology and
marine energy as well as many others. The IEC also manages three global conformity
assessment systems that certify whether equipment, system or components conform to its
International Standards.

DIN stands for "Deutsches Institut fr Normung", meaning "German institute for
standardisation". DIN standards that begin with "DIN V" ("Vornorm", meaning "pre-issue") are
the result of standardization work, but because of certain reservations on the content or
because of the divergent compared to a standard installation procedure of DIN, they are not yet
published standards.
