DKE Deutsche Kommission für Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik im DIN und VDE

Aims of the DKE:

• Comprehensive safety of electrotechnical products and systems as well as associated services and in occupational health and safety;
• System compatibility of products and equipment in networked systems and applications;
• accelerated market penetration of new technologies by supporting information processes through standards and specifications;
• Combining the knowledge and interests of all affected expert groups as well as consensus building even in controversially discussed factual issues;
• Representation of German interests in the further development of International and European Standards for the reduction of trade barriers and the global opening of markets;
• quality and up-to-date technical rules in a consistent and widely accepted set of standards with market and berdarfsorientiert orientation; worldwide recognition of conformity assessment results.
