ACOS (Advisory Committee on Safety), which reports to the SMB (Standardization Management Board), deals with safety matters which are not specific to one single TC (Technical Committee) of the IEC [International Electrotechnical Commission.] Its task is to guide and coordinate IEC work on safety matters in order to ensure consistency in IEC safety standards. ACOS is responsible for the assignment of Horizontal and Group Safety Functions to TCs, subject to confirmation by the SMB, which are thereby mandated to prepare Basic Safety/Group Safety Publications. The aim of these publications is to provide a coherent set of safety standards thus ensuring consistency of IEC standards in areas common to a number of TCs. 1, record 1, English, - Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Safety
