IEC/TC 18 - Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units
To prepare standards for electrical installations and equipment of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units, incorporating good practice and aligning as far as possible existing regulations and IEC Publications. The standards will chiefly concern: a) factors promoting the safety of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units; b) factors promoting safety of life; c) factors promoting preservation of the environment. The standards specify: i. practical interpretation and implementation of the requirements of the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea (IMO SOLAS), and International Convention on Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (IMO MODU); ii. documents for Authorities and Administrators to refer to in their regulations; iii. a coherent set of requirements, based on recommended practices, to be used by owners, builders and appropriate organizations. The standards also foster interchangeability of parts and ease the selection and procurement of equipment, including cables for transport of energy, signals and data, by indicating, as appropriate, IEC standards of ratings, types, dimensions, materials, quality, test methods, etc., whether or not these are influenced by regulations, and will thus facilitate interchanges between purchaser and supplier.
Installations électriques des navires et des unités mobiles et fixes en mer
Préparer des normes pour les installations et équipements électriques des navires et des unités mobiles et fixes en mer, incorporant les bonnes pratiques, et s'alignant autant que possible sur les règlements existants et les publications de l'IEC. Les normes concerneront principalement : a) les facteurs favorisant la sécurité des navires et des unités mobiles et fixes en mer ; b) les facteurs favorisant la sécurité humaine ; c) les facteurs de promotion de la préservation de l'environnement. Les normes spécifiques : i. formeront un code d'interprétation et d'implémentation pratique des exigences de la Convention internationale sur la sécurité de la vie humaine en mer (IMO SOLAS), et de la Convention Internationale sur les unités mobiles de forage en mer (IMO MODU). ii. un document pour les autorités et administrations pour s'y référer dans leurs réglementations. iii. un ensemble cohérent d'exigences, basées sur les pratiques recommandées, à utiliser par les propriétaires, les constructeurs et les organisations appropriées. Les normes encourageront également l'interchangeabilité des pièces et faciliteront la sélection et l'acquisition des équipements, y compris les câbles pour le transport d'énergie, des signaux et des données, en indiquant, le cas échéant, les normes IEC, les classifications, les types, les dimensions, les matériaux, etc., qu'elles soient ou non influencées par des règlements, et faciliteront ainsi les échanges entre l'acheteur et le fournisseur.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
