IEP – Portuguese Electrotechnical Institute is recognised by the Portuguese Quality Institute (IPQ) as a Sectoral Standardisation Body (Organismo de Normalização Setorial, ONS) in the electrotechnical field.

> Coordinate Electrotechnical Technical Standardisation Committees (CTE) – multidisciplinary forums involving experts from public and private bodies
> Draft Portuguese standards and issue national opinions on international (IEC) and European (CENELEC) normative documents
> Monitor transposition of international and European standards into national standards
> Promote national representation in international standardisation processes
> Facilitate technical participation and consensus across sectors
