The IEC International Electro technical Commission TC 31 • The IEC have various branches around the world • As we are a O member country we don’t have the power to vote or add input (only P countries can) • Even though we cannot vote and so forth they do value our opinion • If you get any documents to read from the IEC, give your opinion as this could influence our standards as well • Should we become a P member? • Yes and No • The meetings are held world wide and incur large costs and time to which companies require a return for this expenditure • As a P member we will be able to add our inputs into standards relating to Ex industry or possibly get involved in the working groups

Why did I attend? • I attended this conference to represent the SAFA committee and to see what opportunities there is for our country and various companies • As a association we need to be up to date with world standards and this gave me the insight to see how we compare to the world standards • I attended some of the working group meetings and TC meetings. • Within these meetings I got to see that we as a country are up to date with world standards only with our SA twist.
