Inventory of lectures on standardization

International Standardization (IEC Lecture series I, 2005)

This first series of two lectures were developed for the IEC by Donald E. Purcell, Chairman and CEO of the Center for Global Standards Analysis at the Catholic University of America.

They are aimed at providing material for lectures in universities, business and engineering schools to support curricula covering standardization and its impact on business, industry and engineering. The two lectures will help in giving a general overview of international standardization and a basic knowledge about the IEC’s activities. The IEC believes that students should understand the importance of international standardization in the context of the global market.

International Standardization in Business, Industry, Society and Technology

Lecture 1: The Strategic Value of International Standards

Lecture 2: The International Electrotechnical Commission

 

The Importance of Standards  (IEC Lecture series II, 2007)
