The paper presents an update, including a brief historical background, on the work to be undertaken at the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to address power quality issues. To be useful, this work must take into consideration the three principal stakeholders, namely the producers of electric power, the manufacturers of equipment that use electric power, and the users of that equipment. Other stakeholders include manufacturers of power quality monitors, manufacturers of line conditioners, and power quality consultants. At this time there are some differences of perceptions on how the work can be accomplished to best serve the interests of all stakeholders. Nevertheless, there is no disagreement on the first goal to be reached, which is to catalyze development of compatible, comparable, and consistent results in the measurement of power quality parameters.
