As Standardisation Committees, we are at the forefront of normative solutions and positions in the field of electrical and digital equipment with a view to global progress

Our challenges

Ensure that the standard creates shared value

As a player involved and recognised in French and international standardisation bodies, GIMELEC is involved on many fronts in relation to the challenges of the electrical and digital equipment sector, in particular those relating to industry, buildings, energy management and digital infrastructures in a key energy transition context.

Amongst the challenges, GIMELEC must:

  • develop a system and cross-disciplinary approach to standardisation beyond the traditional field of electrotechnologies, as a result of the energy and digital revolutions.
  • integrate the new skills required to produce standards that guarantee the interoperability of the various interconnected components, products and systems.
  • focus on new normative work aimed at the emergence of new services and uses in the building, industry and energy management sectors.
Our missions

Coordinate its members' technical expertise

“On the strength of its leadership in many fields, GIMELEC’s work aims to:

  • prepare structured consensus projects before they are considered by the standardisation bodies
  • speak with one voice in the various technical and standardisation bodies
  • be a leading player in new normative issues while preserving our leadership in traditional fields
  • be an invaluable representative for institutions due to the links between standardisation and regulation”
