IEC 61340

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a global standardization organization composed of IEC National Committees of various countries.
The IEC department responsible for standards in the field of electrostatics is IEC TC10K, whose scope of work is the formulation of standards in the field of electrostatics.
Currently, the relevant standards related to electrostatics formulated by IEC TC101 are numbered IEC61340, and their general title is “Electrostatics“. The published standards are:
