Hello Roger, The present IEC numbering scheme was adopted on 1/1/97 at the recommendation of the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Advisory Board.
And, in case you were wondering; the purpose was to harmonize the IEC numbering scheme with the European Norms numbering scheme (in which the number 60000 was added to the IEC Standard Number by CENELEC). ISO standards are numbered from 1 to 59999; IEC standards are numbered from 60000 to 79999 (and, I believe the 60000 series is reserved for electical standards).
