  2. TC 14: Power transformers
  3. TC 20: Electric cables
  4. TC 34: Lamps and related equipment
  • As the country is giving priority for industrial parks in ICT and Electromechanical sectors, the growing number of industries in electrical and electromechanical is increasing the demand for IEC standards for Engineering sectors such as railway engineering, hydroelectric power, wind energy, solar power plant and household appliance. As a result, NECE would like to participate in the development of international standards, adopt more IEC international standards as Ethiopian standards and use IEC conformity assessment schemes based on third-party certification as well.
