        IEC TAGs - TC113

        USNC TAG for IEC TC 113

        This is the homepage for the U.S. National Committee (USNC) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 113 (TC 113), Nanotechnology Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems.

        The TC 113 TAG is the vehicle by which U.S. manufacturers of nano-enabled electrotechnical products create a favorable international business model for their companies and their industry. This is because the TAG is the forum for developing Standards for the characterization of nanoscale-attributes and the reliability and durability of nano-scale subassemblies.

        Historically, Standards have driven the commercial landscape and have accelerated the commercialization and mass production of new technologies. Nanotechnology for the electrical and electronic sectors will be no different. The U.S. has the largest nanotechnology manufacturing base in the world. This presents the U.S. with countless opportunities for breakthroughs from industry and the scientific community that will lead to safer and more functional electrotechnical products, including renewable sources of electricity for home and transportation needs, flexible video displays, and compact electronic devices.

        Mass manufacture of these products will translate to more U.S. jobs and improved U.S. competitiveness in the international marketplace. But if we are not proactive in standardization work for this emerging field, other countries and regions around the world will prevail in setting those Standards for us and put us at a competitive disadvantage as mass production expands. This analysis published in The Hill explains the matter clearly. Nanomaterial suppliers and product development experts in nano-electrotechnical measurements and performance assessments are urged to join the TC 113 TAG and help the U.S. lead in this vital work.

        TC 113 Scope

        Standardization of the technologies relevant to electrical and electronic products and systems in nanotechnology, in close cooperation with other committees of the IEC and ISO TC 229.

        TC 113 Structure

        TC 113 is composed of the following:

        IEC TC 113-ISO TC 229 Joint Working Group 1 (JWG1), Terminology
        IEC TC 113-ISO TC 229 Joint Working Group 2 (JWG2), Measurement and characterization
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 3 (WG3), Performance assessment
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 7 (WG7), Reliability assessment
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 8 (WG8), Graphene and carbon-related materials
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 9 (WG9), Nano-enabled photovoltaics, nanoelectronics
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 10 (WG10), Luminescent nanomaterials
        IEC TC 113 Working Group 11 (WG11), Nano-enabled energy storage

        TAG involvement in the TC 113 Work Program

        TAG Members serve as experts on TC 113 project teams that contribute to the current set of TC 113 publications.

        These experts are also participating in the development of TC 113 working documents in process. Among these, the USNC is the lead country on the following:

        IEC/TS 62565-3-1, Nanomanufacturing - Material specifications - Part 3-1: Blank detail specification for graphene for electrotechnical applications
        This has entered a 3rd Committee Draft stage

        Become a TAG Member Today!

        Why should you become a TAG Member? See why IEC Standards work is important to companies already participating and watch video testimonials on the benefits of electrotechnical Standardization.

        Standardization drives the commercial landscape. Those who drive Standards hold the high ground on the commercialization of their products. If you don't drive, you follow!

        Membership on the TC 113 TAG affords you a voice in IEC Standards work, including:

        • Access to the Members-only pages including TC 113 working documents
        • Voting rights in the formulating of U.S. National Committee positions
        • The opportunity to introduce or contribute to new work proposals
        • The opportunity to comment on working drafts
        • Eligibility to lead in Standards projects
        • Representation on international working groups and at plenary sessions

        Membership is open to all U.S. parties working in nano-electrotechnology, but requires application through the TAG Secretary and Technical Advisor, approval by the TAG voting membership, and payment of an annual TAG participation fee assessed by the USNC, currently $310.00, which must be paid before membership is activated.

        Contact us to join or for questions. Complete and send to us a icdocTC 113 TAG membership application along with your professional resume and organizational letter of support.​
