IEC/TC 9 - Electrical equipment and systems for railways
To prepare international standards for the railways field which includes rolling stock, fixed installations, management systems (including supervision, information, communication, signalling and processing systems) for railway operation, their interfaces and their ecological environment. These standards cover railway networks, metropolitan transport networks (including metros, tramways, trolleybuses and fully automated transport systems) and magnetic levitated transport systems. These standards relate to systems, components and software and they will deal with electrical, electronic and mechanical aspects, the latter being limited to items depending on electrical factors. These standards deal with electromechanical and electronic aspects of power components as well as with electronic hardware and software components.
Matériels et systèmes électriques ferroviaires
Préparer des normes internationales pour le domaine ferroviaire qui comprend le matériel roulant, les installations fixes, les systèmes de gestion (y compris les systèmes de supervision, d'information, de communication, de signalisation et de traitement) pour l'exploitation ferroviaire, leurs interfaces et leur environnement écologique. Ces normes couvrent les réseaux ferroviaires, les réseaux de transport métropolitains (y compris les métros, les tramways, les trolleybus et les systèmes de transport entièrement automatisés) et les systèmes de transport à sustentation magnétique. Ces normes concernent les systèmes, les composants et les logiciels et traitent des aspects électriques, électroniques et mécaniques, ces derniers étant limités aux éléments dépendant de facteurs électriques. Ces normes traitent des aspects électromécaniques et électroniques des composants de puissance, ainsi que des composants électroniques et logiciels.

Currently, there are 213 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO 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.
