American versus Global 63 Standards Harmonization In pursuit of the objectives of the United States Standards Strategy, ANSI and the ANSI- certified American standards organizations have developed professional cooperation with and memberships in both the ISO and IEC. An example of that cooperation is the Instituted of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). IEC and IEEE signed a joint agreement on November 14, 2002 in which IEC agreed to review IEEE standards in electronics, telecommunications, power generation, and other electrotechnical standards for recognition for international status. Those standards chosen by IEC will be processed by IEC technical committees. They will be published as IEC/IEEE Dual Logo International Standards and will be available to IEC member countries for adoption as national standards. Table 2.4 represents the IEEE standards that IEC has jointly adopted through 2007. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. has published an investigative report UL 508E, IEC Type ``2'' Coordination Short Circuit Tests of Electromechanical Motor Controllers in Accordance with IEC Publication 60947-4-1. This UL report is only applicable to some manufacturer- specific selected motor controllers and short circuit protective devices (SCPD). It is an example of one manufacturer's effort to determine the compliance of their products to IEC standards.
