IKhomishini ye-International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) yasekwa ngo-1906 kwaye inembali yeminyaka eli-109 ukuya kuthi ga ngo-2015. Yeyona arhente yokuqala yamazwe ngamazwe yokulinganisa i-electrotechnical emhlabeni, enoxanduva lokulinganisa i-standardization yamazwe ngamazwe kwicandelo lobunjineli bombane kunye nobunjineli be-elektroniki. Ikomkhulu leKhomishini ye-International Electrotechnical Commission lalikwiLondon ekuqaleni, kodwa lafudukela kwikomkhulu lalo langoku eGeneva ngo-1948. Kwiingqungquthela ezi-6 zamazwe ngamazwe ze-electrotechnical ezazibanjwe ukususela ngo-1887 ukuya ku-1900, iingcali ezithathe inxaxheba zavumelana ukuba kuyimfuneko ukuseka umbutho wamazwe ngamazwe osisigxina wokulinganisa i-electrotechnical ukuze kusonjululwe iingxaki zokhuseleko lombane kunye nokulinganisa imveliso yombane. Ngo-1904, iNgqungquthela ye-International Electrotechnical Conference eyayibanjelwe eSt. Louis, e-USA, yapasisa isigqibo sokusekwa kweziko elisisigxina. NgoJuni 1906, abameli bamazwe ali-13 badibana eLondon, babhala imithetho ye-IEC kunye nemigaqo yenkqubo, baza baseka ngokusesikweni iKhomishini ye-International Electrotechnical Commission. Ngo-1947 yafakwa kwi-International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) njengecandelo le-electrotechnical, kwaye ngo-1976 yasuswa kwi-ISO. Injongo kukukhuthaza intsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe kuyo yonke imiba enxulumene nomgangatho we-electrotechnical kwicandelo le-electrotechnical, electronic kunye neteknoloji ezinxulumene noko, njengovavanyo lokuhambelana kwemigangatho. Iinjongo zekomiti zezi: ukuhlangabezana ngempumelelo neemfuno zemarike yehlabathi; ukuqinisekisa ukuba imigangatho yayo kunye neenkqubo zovavanyo lokuhambelana ziphambili kwaye zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwihlabathi liphela; ukuvavanya nokuphucula umgangatho weemveliso kunye neenkonzo ezigutyungelwe yimigangatho yayo; ukubonelela ngokusetyenziswa okuqhelekileyo kweenkqubo ezintsonkothileyo; Ukudala iimeko; ukwandisa ukusebenza kwenkqubo yophuhliso lwemizi-mveliso; ukuphucula impilo yoluntu kunye nokhuseleko; ukukhusela okusingqongileyo.
Iimoto zeNEMA zezona zisemgangathweni waseMelika.
I-NEMA yasekwa ngo-1926. Umbutho wokuqala wezoshishino lwe-elektroniki e-United States wasekwa ngo-1905, obizwa ngokuba yi-Electronic Manufacturers Alliance (Electrical Manufacturers Alliance: EMA), kwaye kungekudala watshintsha igama lawo waba yi-Electrical Manufacturers Club (Electrical Manufacturers Club: EMC), ngo-1908 abavelisi beemoto baseMelika I-American Association of Electric Motor Manufacturers: AAEMM yasekwa, kwaye ngo-1919 yabizwa ngokuba yi-Electric Power Club (Electric Power Club: EPC). Le mibutho mithathu yadibana ukuze yenze i-Electrical Manufacturers Council (EMC).
