Today, we’re celebrating World Standards Day!

And we have a special message from IEC General Secretary and CEO Philippe Metzger, ISO Secretary-General Sergio Mujica and ITU Secretary-General Seizo Onoe.

This year, we’re putting the spotlight on SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

From healthcare and education to digital connectivity, energy powers progress. But delivering reliable, sustainable energy for all requires systems and technologies that work together.

International standards and conformity assessment help connect these systems, build trust and turn shared ambitions into practical solutions.

None of this would be possible without the thousands of experts worldwide who make it happen. Thank you! 🙌

How are you celebrating World Standards Day? Let us know below! 👇

At ICOE OEE 2026 in The Hague, IECRE Executive Secretary Wolfram Zeitz, IECRE Chair Jonathan Colby and Winston D’Souza, IECRE Convenor for the marine energy sector, joined experts to explore how to scale ocean energy technologies and bring them to market.

Scaling up marine energy requires confidence in emerging technologies and investment. International Standards and conformity assessment help reduce technical risks, support certification and build confidence among investors and insurers.

Through IEC TC 114 standards and the IECRE system, the IEC is helping support the marine energy sector’s transition towards commercialisation and the development of reliable clean energy solutions.

The IEC and IECRE also had a dedicated booth at the conference, where visitors learned more about the role of standards and conformity assessment in marine energy and took part in engaging discussions.

Ever wondered how a gadget made in one country can be sold and used around the world?

International standards provide common technical requirements for products, while conformity assessment helps verify that products meet those requirements. Together, they help manufacturers demonstrate safety, quality and interoperability, making it easier for products to enter global markets.

From design and manufacturing to distribution and sale, IEC Standards and conformity assessment help connect products to markets around the world.

Just 7 days to go until World Standards Day!

How does affordable and dependable energy help build inclusive societies?

It powers schools, hospitals and businesses. It supports livelihoods and helps people connect to digital services and opportunities. When energy is accessible and dependable, more people and communities can participate and thrive.

International standards and conformity assessment help make this possible, supporting energy solutions that are safe, reliable and built to last.

This work is part of the wider global effort to accelerate the clean energy transition. At COP31 this November, the IEC will highlight how international standards can help turn commitments into action.

And behind these standards are thousands of experts, members and partners who share their knowledge and expertise to help move this work forward.
