International Electrotechnical Commission

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an important organization that sets safety standards for electrical products. They do this by making sure that electrical products like TVs, computers, tablets, and phones all use the same types of electricity so that they can all be used safely. The IEC also makes sure that the electrical products going into homes and buildings are safe. They do this by testing them to make sure they aren't likely to cause fires or electric shocks. This means that you can use all kinds of electrical products safely in your home.
