IEC/SC 23J - Switches for appliances
To prepare standards related to switches (mechanical, electromechanical or electronic) for appliances actuated by hand, by foot or by other human activity, to operate or control electrical appliances and other equipment for household or similar purposes with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 63 A. It covers also switches intended to be incorporated in or with appliance equipment. It covers also the general requirements and test methods for electromechanical switches with optional quality assurance procedures.
Interrupteurs pour appareils
Préparer les normes relatives aux interrupteurs (mécaniques, électromécaniques ou électroniques) pour appareils, actionnés à la main, au pied, ou toute autre action humaine afin de mettre en fonction ou commander des appareils d'utilisation électriques et d'autres matériels d’usage domestique ou similaire, de tension assignée ne dépassant pas 440 V et de courant assigné ne dépassant pas 63 A. Cela couvre aussi les interrupteurs destinés à être incorporés dans ou à un appareil d'utilisation. Cela couvre aussi les exigences générales et les méthodes d'essais des interrupteurs électromécaniques assujettis à des procédures d'assurance qualité optionnelles.

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.
