== Regulations ==
In most countries, electrical installations shall comply with more than one set of regulations, issued by National Authorities or by recognized private bodies. It is essential to take into account these local constraints before starting the design. <br>
These regulations may be based on national standards derived from the IEC 60364: Low-voltage electrical installations.

This Guide is based on relevant IEC standards, in particular IEC 60364. IEC 60364 has been established by engineering experts of all countries in the world comparing their experience at an international level. Currently, the safety principles of IEC 60364 series, IEC 61140, 60479 series and IEC 61201 are the fundamentals of most electrical standards in the world (see table below).

Regulations

In most countries, electrical installations shall comply with more than one set of regulations, issued by National Authorities or by recognized private bodies. It is essential to take into account these local constraints before starting the design.
These regulations may be based on national standards derived from the IEC 60364: Low-voltage electrical installations.

Standards

This Guide is based on relevant IEC standards, in particular IEC 60364. IEC 60364 has been established by engineering experts of all countries in the world comparing their experience at an international level. Currently, the safety principles of IEC 60364 series, IEC 61140, 60479 series and IEC 61201 are the fundamentals of most electrical standards in the world (see table below).
