men and women)

National Electrical Code, NEC
• NFPA 70, contains “installation” rules• 2008 Edition has 882 Pages• Created by 19 NEC Code-Making Panels (CMP)
• Balanced Representation (Manufacturers, Electricians, Inspectors, UL, etc.)
• Represent Groups/Associations (Directed Votes)
• K. Lippert – Alternate NEMA Rep. On CMP 10
• 3-year revision cycle

IEC 60364-1
• Low-voltage electrical installations –Part 1: Fundamental principles, assessment of general characteristics, definitions
“IEC 60364-1 gives the rules for the design, erection, and verification of electrical installations. The rules are intended to provide for the safety of persons, livestock and property against dangers and damage which may arise in the reasonable use of electrical installations and to provide for the proper functioning of those installations.”

Standards Harmonized through CANENA
• Circuit Breakers
• Switches
• Busway
• Switchboards
• Motor control centers

Harmonization efforts with IEC
• UL 60947-1(Contactors and control components)
• “Systematic” review of ALL requirements to assure safety
• Collaborate on IEC participation to obtain recognition of North American requirements
- “Global Relevance”
![Page 23: SC 17 – Switchgear & Controlgear 17 – IEC Standards for Assemblies • IEC 60439-1: LV Switchgear and Controlgear Assemblies • IEC 60439-2: Busbar Trunking Systems (Busways)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013110/5b0e654f7f8b9a2c3b8ea4c4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Recognize “differences”
• Consider large installed base
• Regional Regulations
Installation Codes
Certifications
Inspections

Summary
• IEC and North American electrical safety systems are “different” - (Just as men are “different” from women)
• Neither is “good” nor “bad” but each is effective when implemented completely & properly
• Extreme caution should be taken if attempting to mix / max “pieces” of both systems
