I have to be very provocative here, but please don't shoot the messenger unless you /really/ want to. (;-) Some years ago, the US National Committee of the IEC declared an intention to bid for as many senior positions in the IEC as possible, and to invest much effort into international standardization through IEC. It's largely happened, but 'at home', US standards remain mostly national, differing entirely or in substantial part from the international, and some, such as CISPR and IEC SC77B EMC standards, have no counterpart in US national standards at all. It seems that what is good for the rest of the world is not good for USA. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
