WHAT ARE LOW VOLTAGE PANEL STANDARDS?
There are standards that must be followed when producing Low Voltage Electrical Panels and specifications prepared according to these standards. Each country has national standards and each has to comply with the international standards it accepts. Many countries in the world have accepted ISO, IEC and ITU international standards. Turkey became a member of ISO in 1955, IEC in 1956, CEN and CENELEC in 2012. It is a founding member of ITU. Turkey’s national standards organization is TSE, the Turkish Standards Institute, established in 1960. Specifications are prepared in accordance with the latest editions of Turkish Standards in force and, where Turkish Standards are not available, EN, HD and IEC standards respectively.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS?
ISO: ISO (International Organization for Standardization), International Organization for Standardization
An international organization officially established in Geneva on February 23, 1947, to carry out the work of setting standards in all technical and non-technical branches, except electrical and electronic engineering, which fall within the scope of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission
IEC is an international standards organization, headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland), with national committees in 82 countries, founded in 1906, which prepares and publishes international standards on electricity, electronics and related technologies.
CEN (European Committee for Standardization): The European Committee for Standardization is the main body for the harmonization of standards at EU level. CEN, whose field of work is wider than the other two bodies (CENELEC and ETSI), works to remove technical barriers arising from the differences in national standards that adversely affect the functioning of the Single Market by establishing harmonized EU standards in all sectors.
CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization): It is a regional standards organization that prepares European Standards in electrical and electrotechnical matters. It is an organization responsible for standardization activities in the electrotechnical field.
ITU (International Telecommunication Union): The International Telecommunication Union is an organization headquartered in Geneva that sets many standards in telecommunications. It was established on May 17, 1865. Our country is also a member.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers): The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE SA, is the standards development body of IEEE.
ETSI (European Telecommunications Standard Institute): The European Telecommunications Standards Committee is one of three bodies (like CEN and CENELEC) working on standardization at the European level.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN NATIONAL STANDARDS?
TS: Abbreviation for Turkish Standards.
The Turkish Standards Institute was established on October 16, 1954 with a statute prepared within the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB). The Institute was accepted as a member of the International Organization For Standardization ISO on 26 May 1955 and the International Electrotechnical Commission-IEC on 01 January 1956.
EN (Europen Norm): Abbreviation for European Standards.
BS (The British Standards Institution): The UK’s national standards body and the first national standards body.
DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung): An organization that creates and manages standards and specifications in Germany.
GOST: A regional standards organization operating under the auspices of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It refers to a set of technical standards maintained by the Euro-Asian Standardization, Metrology and Certification Council (EASC).[1] GOST standards were originally developed by the government of the Soviet Union as part of its national standardization strategy.
ANSI (American National Standard Institute): American National Standard Institute
JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards): Japanese industrial standards
