IEC/TC 97 - Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes
To prepare international standards for design, installation, verification and maintenance of aeronautical ground lighting of aerodromes. The activity covers requirements which apply to the whole system from the incoming power to the aerodrome up to and including the luminaires used in aeronautical ground lighting. The activity will not cover: - electrical installations already standardized by TC 64; - luminaires not used as aeronautical ground lights standardized by TC 34; - special cables for the constant current series circuit standardized by TC 20. Note. - Operational requirements for aeronautical ground lights are specified in Annex 14 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Installations électriques pour l'éclairage et le balisage des aérodromes
Préparer des normes internationales pour la conception, l'installation, la vérification et la maintenance de l'éclairage au sol des aérodromes. L’activité couvre les exigences qui s'appliquent à tout le système, depuis l'arrivée d'alimentation de puissance jusques et y compris les luminaires utilisés dans le balisage aéronautique. L'activité ne couvre pas : • les installations électriques déjà normalisées par le CE 64; • les luminaires non utilisés comme éclairage au sol normalisés par le CE 34; • les câbles spéciaux pour le circuit série à courant constant normalisés par le CE 20. Note : Les prescriptions opérationnelles pour l'éclairage au sol aéronautique sont spécifiées à l'Annexe 14 de la "Convention Internationale de l’Aviation Civile.

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.
