IEC/TC 26 - Electric welding
To prepare standards for electrical safety, EMC and EMF matters related to the construction, installation and use of equipment for electric welding and allied processes in both normal and adverse welding environments, taking into account all safety aspects for protection against electrical and mechanical hazards for professional and non professional use and all aspects to protect the environment. All electric welding processes are covered except electromagnetic processing.
Soudage électrique
Etablir des normes sur la sécurité électrique, les questions liées au champ électromagnétique (EMF) et à la compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) pour la fabrication, l'installation, et l'utilisation du matériel de soudage électrique et les procédés associés à la fois dans des environnements de soudage normaux et défavorables, en tenant compte de tous les aspects liés à la sécurité concernant la protection contre les risques électriques et mécaniques pour les utilisations professionnelle et non professionnelle et de tous les aspects de protection de l’environnement. Tous les procédés de soudage électrique sont couverts, sauf le traitement électromagnétique

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.
