History of the Affiliate Programme
In 2001 IEC had stable membership (since 1906!), but membership requirements were deterring developing countries
World Trade Organization was looking for ways “to ensure effective participation of Members, and particularly of developing country Members in [international standardization organizations] activities.”
The IEC found a unique approach to ensuring that participation.
