The mission of the IEC Asia-Pacific Regional Centre (IEC APRC), located in Singapore, is twofold: promote awareness of the IEC in the region, increase the use of IEC international standards and enhance participation of all countries in the region in the Commission's work; and provide additional staff support to technical committees and subcommittees in the same way IEC Central Office does at present.

• Promote awareness of the IEC in the region,

All of the above will be achieved by improved communication with businesses, industries and governments in the region.

The centre also has comprehensive office facilities, including internet access, telephone and fax.
