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 60194-2:2025 covers terms and definitions related to circuit board and electronic assembly technologies as well as other electronic technologies.
The terms have been classified according to the decimal classification code (DCC) and this DCC number appears just below the defined term. The DCC numbering is fully explained in Annex A.
A list of terms in alphabetical order with code number is provided in Annex B.
