总部设在瑞士的国际电工委员会（IEC）成立于1906年，是成立最早的国际电工标准化机构。席勒副总裁Johann Jakob 参与IEC的工作已20余年。他在其中担任国际联合工作组主席，该工作组负责制定电子医疗设备标准。今年国际电工委员会（IEC）授予Johann Jakob IEC 1906奖，以表彰他致力于电子医疗设备标准化的贡献。
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) honoured Johann-Jakob SCHMID with the IEC 1906 Award for his commitment to the standardisation of electromedical devices.“IEC 1906奖”，是国际电工委员会 (IEC) 最重要的奖项之一，由IEC执行委员会为纪念IEC成立于1906年而设立，用以表彰对IEC国际电工标准化做出突出贡献的各国技术专家。该奖每年评选一次。由IEC各技术委员会的主席、秘书负责提名，经IEC中央办公室技术官员审核后颁发。
Johann-Jakob说：“我们正为静息心电、运动心电、动态心电及心脏监护设备定义一个通用新标准，即测量一切心脏活动的标准。”新标准目前正在制定中，预计于2022年发布。These standards significantly contribute to the safety of medical devices, for example in the cardiopulmonary field, in rescue or in resuscitation. In the USA and in Europe, these standards have now been adopted as legal standards and are therefore mandatory for manufacturers when developing new devices. A new standard for the ECG sector is currently in the works and will be published in 2022. Johann-Jakob Schmid explains: "We are defining a new, common standard for resting, stress and long-term ECG as well as for the monitoring of cardiac activity, i.e. for everything that measures electricity in the heart".
The award is also a recognition for SCHILLER, headquartered in Baar/Switzerland. Alfred E. Schiller, the owner and chairman of the SCHILLER group, is delighted with the international honour bestowed on his deputy: "We welcome and support Johann-Jakob Schmid's commitment to the IEC. The safety of our medical equipment is our top priority".
