IEC/SC 37B - Components for low-voltage surge protection
To prepare international standards for components for low-voltage surge protection. These SPCs (surge protection components) are used in power, telecommunication and/or signalling networks with voltages up to 1000 V a.c. and 1500 V d.c.
Composants pour parafoudres basse tension
Etablir des normes internationales concernant les composants pour parafoudres basse tension. Ces SPCs (composants pour parafoudres) sont utilisés dans les réseaux de puissance, de télécommunication et/ou de signalisation avec des tensions jusqu’à 1000V en courant alternatif et 1500V en courant continu.

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 Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
