IEC/TC 85 - Measuring equipment for electrical and electromagnetic quantities
To prepare international standards for equipment, systems, and methods used in the fields of measurement, test, recurrent test, monitoring, evaluation, generation and analysis of steady state and dynamic (including temporary and transients) electrical and electromagnetic quantities, as well as their calibrators. Such equipment includes devices for testing the safety of power distribution systems and connected equipment, devices for monitoring the power distribution systems, electrical measuring transducers, signal generators, recorders together with their accessories. NOTE: Product safety aspects are covered by TC 66.
Equipement de mesure des grandeurs électriques et électromagnétiques
Elaborer des normes internationales pour les équipements, les systèmes et les méthodes utilisés dans les domaines de la mesure, d’essai, d’essai récurrent, de surveillance, d’évaluation, de production et d’analyse des grandeurs électriques et électromagnétiques en régime permanent et dynamique (y compris temporaires et transitoires) ainsi que leurs calibreurs. De tels équipements comprennent les dispositifs pour tester la sécurité des réseaux de distribution d'énergie et les appareils connectés, les dispositifs de surveillance des réseaux de distribution d'énergie, les transducteurs de mesure électriques, les générateurs de signaux, les enregistreurs ainsi que leurs accessoires. NOTE: Les aspects de sécurité de ces produits sont couverts par le TC 66.

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.
