4.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

To further its overall mission, the objectives of the IEC are to:
1. Efficiently meet the requirements of the global marketplace
2. Ensure maximum use of its standards and conformity assessment schemes
3. Assess and improve the quality of products and services covered by its standards
4. Establish conditions for interchangeability
5. Increase the efficiency of electrotechnical industrial processes
6. Contribute to the improvement of human health and safety
7. Work towards protection of the environment
