MEMBER OF NATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMITTEE
What is NEC Rwanda

A National Electrotechnical Committee (NEC) is a committee of the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) at national level which brings together representatives
with decision-making responsibilities from all stakeholders to consider the adoption of IEC
International Standards related to the electrotechnical fields of interest within its country
and consider adopting them as national standards or for use as reference in national laws
or regulations.

Having such committee enables stakeholders contribute to the selection and adoption of
the right IEC international standards for the national market. The ideal NEC should be fully
representative of all of the country’s interests in the field of electrotechnical
standardization and conformity assessment.

An NEC provides also a central point for local industrial to be involved in electrotechnical
standardization on a global platform and it is therefore a valuable tool for ensuring that the
WTO/TBT Agreements is correctly implemented.

Stakeholders may be high-level representatives from any of the following areas:
1. Power generation and distribution authorities;
2. Government departments concerned with electrical and electronics applications;
3. The national standards body;
4. Manufacturers of electrotechnical products;
5. Testing laboratories;
