  • To afford an opportunity for U.S. participants to reduce travel costs by having the IEC General Meeting and its related management and technical meetings within the U.S. as opposed to requiring international travel to other locations
  • To help the U.S. electrotechnical industry compete in the global marketplace through participation and use of an open, balanced, and transparent standards development process
  • To demonstrate the USNC’s leadership position in the management structure of the IEC at all levels
  • To demonstrate to the world market that the IEC international standardization activities are significant components of U.S. electrotechnical standardization activities
