Many CIE Technical Reports and International Standards include tables of data (datasets). This page provides a list of these datasets with links to detailed descriptions and full metadata.

In some cases the dataset itself is provided open access, in other cases you are referred to the specific CIE document where the dataset can be found. In all cases a metadata file is provided for each dataset. The definition of the metadata scheme used for the CIE data tables is also freely available at https://doi.org/10.25039/CIE.SC.4taqevcd.

The datasets are sorted in alphabetical order of the data table name (some with a CIE prefix). You can search for words that are contained in the name of the data table using the search box.
