FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus
development process, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve
the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of IEEE and serve without compensation. While IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE
does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its
standards. Use of IEEE Standards documents is wholly voluntary. IEEE documents are made available for use
subject to important notices and legal disclaimers (see http://standards.ieee.org/IPR/disclaimers.html for more
information).
IEC collaborates closely with IEEE in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of
opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC
National Committees. The formal decisions of IEEE on technical matters, once consensus within IEEE Societies
and Standards Coordinating Committees has been reached, is determined by a balanced ballot of materially
interested parties who indicate interest in reviewing the proposed standard. Final approval of the IEEE
standards document is given by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board.
3) IEC/IEEE Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC
National Committees/IEEE Societies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC/IEEE Publications is accurate, IEC or IEEE cannot be held responsible for the way in
which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
(including IEC/IEEE Publications) transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
publications. Any divergence between any IEC/IEEE Publication and the corresponding national or regional
publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and IEEE do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC and IEEE are not responsible
for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or IEEE or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies
and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board,
for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect,
or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this
IEC/IEEE Publication or any other IEC or IEEE Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of
material covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the
existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for
identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal
validity or scope of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or
non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent
rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
