Technical Union of electricity

The technical Union of electricity (UTE) is the French organization of electrotechnical standardization.

Goals of the UTE

Created in 1907, the UTE, originally called " The Federation of European and International Public Service Unions of electricity (USES) " , is resulting from the will of the " trade union of industries électriques" and of the " trade union of the factories of électricité" to create a federation in order to jointly study the relative questions with the development of industries which they represent.

Legal form

The UTE is a Association law of 1901 with nonlucrative goal. This association is made up members representing the unit of the professionals of electricity, the consumers and the public authorities.

Field of standardization

The UTE is the office of standardization of electricity, including/understanding the following fields:

  1. electronics,

  2. electrical engineering,
  3. automatic,
  4. the communication (data-processing telephony, networks, house automation…)

On a world level

The UTE is the electrotechnical Comité French (CEF), i.e. the representative of France within the international agencies of electric standardization. Consequently, the UTE is member of the international electrotechnical Commission (CEI) and of the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).
