anschreiben?? Ich vermute, dass dies Verb ist nicht korrekt ist.

My comment:

Ich stimme "work" oder "work and/or services" zu,
kann aber nicht nachvollziehen, wie man aus "anschreiben"
"to carry out" ableiten kann.
Ich nehme an, es sollte auszuschreiben lauten (oder auch: gemäß IEC-Standard/-Ausschreibung anzubieten).

If the two senetences are in the same context, Uta's answer is probaby about it: the performance is to be measured against IEC standards. However, I've now also found this: Auf Bleiglas-Sichtfenstern an Leuchtschirmen ist das Bleiäquivalent dauerhaft anzuschreiben. Diese dürfen nicht durch herkömmliches Glas ersetzt werden. Ein Ersatzfenster muss mindestens den gleichen Schwächungsfaktor (Bleiäquivalent) aufweisen wie das Originalfenster. http://tinyurl.com/8p8q6ws

In my suggestion "Leistung(en)" > "work to be carried out". At the time I wrote it I wondered slightly if it didn't sound more like an instruction to the person writing the document.

My comment:

"Leistung" is commonly used in invitations to tender and very difficult to translate. In some cases you may be able to use "performance" in a legal sense:

Performance under the contract, unless modified by the parties, is predicated on the buyer and the seller...
http://www.law.buffalo.edu/academics/courses/623/text/5-broker2.html

Work to be carried out (I have translated it as "commitments" in the past) is more easily understood by a broader range of people:

"Die Leistung is occasionally found in formal language as a verbal n. meaning 'the carrying out' of work, etc..."
http://tinyurl.com/8ksw283

"Leistung here is used in the widest sense, i.e. any actions required to be carried out by the client/customer(Auftraggeber) under the contract."
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/law_patents/337557-erbringung_der_leistung.html

I'm not immediately clear that the second example you provide of "Leistung" is used in this sense. Here, in the first instance, I would think of whether the provided product was capable of working in the capacity intended.
