electrical codes

Electrical codes are a set of regulations designed to ensure the safe installation and use of electrical systems in buildings. They address various aspects, including wiring methods, equipment standards, and safety practices, to minimize risks like electrical fires or shocks. These codes are developed by organizations, often based on research and safety standards, and can vary by region. Compliance with electrical codes is crucial for protecting lives and property, and it is usually required for building permits and inspections. Professionals, such as electricians, follow these codes to ensure all electrical work meets the necessary safety criteria.
