The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 62680-1-4:2018 provides a means for authenticating Products with regard to identification and configuration. Authentication is performed via USB Power Delivery message communications and/or via USB data bus control transactions.
This specification defines the architecture and methodology for unilateral Product Authentication. It is intended to be fully compatible with and extend existing PD and USB infrastructure. Information is provided to allow for Policy enforcement, but individual Policy decisions are not specified.

IEC 62684:2018 specifies the interoperability of common external power supplies for use with data-enabled mobile telephones. It defines the common charging capability and specifies interface requirements for the external power supply. Safety and EMC aspects are not covered by this document. Safety is covered by IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1 and EMC is covered by regional /national standards. This document defines interoperability based on legacy USB technologies and does not cover charging interfaces that implement IEC 62680-1-3, IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 63002. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Clause 1 is modified to include updated references to IEC Universal Serial Bus interface standards;
b) Clause 2 is expanded to include references to IEC Universal Serial Bus interface standards;
c) Subclause 4.1 is expanded to include requirements for non USB Micro-B plug DC plug connectors;
d) Subclause 4.4 is modified to remove obsolete requirements for common mode noise and reference requirements of IEC Universal Serial Bus interface standards;
e) Subclause 4.5 is modified to reference appropriate safety standards.

IEC 63002:20016 defines interoperability guidelines for external power supplies used with portable computing devices that implement the IEC 62680-1-2: Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery Specification with the IEC 62680-1-3: Universal Serial Bus Interfaces for data and power-Common Components- Type-CTM Type-C Cable and Connector Specification. It specifies the data objects used by a portable computing system using IEC 62680-1-2 to understand the identity, design and performance characteristics, and operating status of an external power supply. This International Standard is applicable to external power supplies under 100 watts for portable computing devices, with a focus on power delivery application for notebook computers, tablets, smartphones and other related multimedia devices.
