In 1976, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) decided to create a structure for harmonizing all tests relating to fire hazards in the electrical field. It was also given the role of "steering committee". This is Committee 89 "Fire hazard testing". The role of this committee is to coordinate standardization in the field of fire in electrical equipment, previously dealt with independently by product-specific committees.
