IEC value-added products
01.12.2023
IEC has developed several value-added products to make the used of standards easier.
- A Consolidated version (CSV) allows users to access technical content from multiple publications that have been merged into a single, user-friendly product. The CSV incorporates the content of amendment(s) into the publication. The track changes mode shows where the publication has been modified by the amendment.
- A Redline version (RLV) allows users to easily access the changes between the new and previous edition of a publication. The RLV is a package that includes both the official publication and its redline version. In the redline version, the track changes mode highlights all the changes between the new edition and previous edition of the publication.
- A Commented version (CMV) is the only product where the consensus-based content of a publication is enriched with technical commentary. The CMV consists of an RLV in which an IEC expert has added significant and extensive comments explaining the main changes to the publication. These comments display in pop-up windows in the publication content and are also listed at the end of the document.
- An Extended version (EXV) allows the user to compile the key information and content in a single, easy to use document.
