家用电器的性能包括电器的使用特性、电器的分类、易接近性和可用性、人类环境改造方面以及销售时提供信息的条件等，这些性能对于消费者选购产品是十分重要的。家用电器性能标准的制定机构为IEC/TC 59。该技术委员会始建于1964年，下设3个工作组（WG）和2个维护小组（MT）：
WG 2：家用电器的噪声 MT 8：电吹风机 MT 9：家用电器待机功耗的测量 WG 11：易接近性和可用性 以及7个分技术委员会（SC）：
SC 59A：电动洗碗机 SC 59C：加热器具 SC 59D：家用洗衣器具 SC 59F：地板处理器具 SC 59K：烤箱、微波炉、电炉及类似器具 SC 59L：小型家用电器 SC 59M：家用制冷和冷冻器具的性能 此外，IEC/TC 59还设有3个特别工作组（AHG），它们分别为：AHG 1（面板测试）、AHG 2（可重复性）、AHG 3（家用电器的互连）。

从上表可以看出，2010-2011年IEC/TC 59更新的标准有家用电器噪声通用标准（IEC 60704-1:2010）、家用洗衣机的噪声（IEC 60704-2-4:2011）、家用烹饪器具的噪声（IEC 60704-2-10:2011）、抽油烟机的噪声（IEC 60704-2-13:2011）、家用电器待机功耗测量（IEC 62301:2011）、家用洗衣机（IEC 60456:2010）、家用洗衣机的测量不确定度报告（IEC/TR 62617:2010）、真空吸尘器性能测量方法分为干式和湿式（IEC 60312-1:2011和IEC 60312-2:2010）、家用烹饪器具性能测量方法拆分为两份（IEC 60350-1:2011和IEC 60350-2:2011）、家用微波炉性能测量方法（IEC 60705:2010）。2012年上半年发布的标准有：家用洗碗机（IEC 60436:2012）、滚筒式干衣机的噪声（IEC 60704-2-6:2012）、家用滚筒式干衣机（IEC 61121:2012）、测试使用硬水（IEC 60734:2012）。具体标准信息参见本栏目下各技术委员会/分技术委员会的相关标准。
目前IEC/TC 59及其SC制定的家用电器的性能标准及技术报告共有50多项，其中性能测试方法标准25项，噪声标准16项，综合性能标准4项，能效标准1项（IEC 62301、待机功耗），其他6项。如今，IEC/TC 59正对洗碗机的噪声（IEC 60704-2-3）、洗衣机和离心脱水机（IEC 60704-2-4）的噪声、冰箱和冷柜的噪声（IEC 60704-2-14）标准进行修订，家用制冷器具性能标准（IEC 62552）将拆分为三份（通用要求、性能要求、能耗与容积）。正在制定的新标准有：家用干式清洁机器人（IEC 60312-3）、洗衣机干衣一体机（IEC 62512）、家用真空吸尘器——电池驱动的清洁器具（IEC 6xxx-x）。

3. 家用电器国际性能标准发展趋势
家用电器国际性能标准具有以下趋势：(1) 从使用性能上来说，人们愈来愈关注开发对环境影响较小的家用电器产品，并且考虑这些产品对于老年人及残疾人士的使用,，这种趋势也将影响家用电器性能标准的制定/修定，譬如产品对环境的影响将影响IEC/TC 59未来的工作，如替代能源的使用，避免任何对环境的污染，减少水和能源的消耗以及减少噪声。
(2) 从技术发展趋势来说，家用电器的网络控制也将影响家用电器的开发以及在这一领域必要的标准化工作。在“智能家庭”领域，IEC/TC 59与IEC/TC 100联合组建了“带有智能电网的家用和商用电器之间家电互连互通和接口”战略特别工作组，以解决家电互连互通的问题。
