Share your work in 2018

We’d like to hear and read your stories

By Claire Marchand, 21 June 2017

Take the 170 countries in the IEC family, the 20 000 technical experts who work in standards development, the many certification bodies (CBs) and test laboratories (TLs) in the IEC Conformity Assessment (CA) Systems, and add to the mix the rapid pace at which technologies are evolving today and you have hundreds, if not thousands of stories that can be told within the IEC community.

Reaching a large audience

Each month, e-tech covers a topic that is specific to IEC work and describes what technical committees/subcommittees (TC/SCs) and the four CA Systems do in that field. Reports on international and regional conferences, workshops and seminars, organized by the IEC or attended by IEC representatives, are also featured.

On the one hand, as in previous years, the e-tech editorial team will be reaching out to you to get your story. On the other, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact us – some of you have already done so in the past – if you think you can contribute to a specific issue in one way or another. In 2018, we plan to continue and increase the sharing of stories, get your input and include articles that are of direct relevance to your area of expertise.

This is our editorial plan for e-tech in 2018. We do look forward to receiving your comments, news and suggestions.
