Dianoush Emami, an electrical engineer, holds a BS in electrical engineering from USC and an NRC credential in the state of California. A proven safety leader, Dianoush Emami has also managed substation equipment and provided strategic direction to move substation and distribution management systems into International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specification standards.
To support specification standards, the IEC also advances all forms of conformity assessment. Conformity assessment provides assurance that products, systems, or services are safe by ensuring they adhere to the requirements of a specifications or standard.
Not only does conformity assessment reduce trade barriers related to certification differences, it also improves efficiencies by removing the need for multiple testing and approval processes. The IEC currently manages four conformity assessment programs; electrotechnical equipment and components, equipment for use in explosive atmospheres, equipment for use in renewable energy systems, and electronic components.
For additional information on conformity assessment at the IEC, as well as the scope of each of the four conformity assessment programs, visit www.iec.ch.
