Goyal Releases Handbook on Safety in Electrical Installations

Handbooks to create awareness on Electrical Safety and the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility, and sustainability of buildings

Shri Piyush Goyal, Union Minister for Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution and Textiles during the fourth Governing Council Meeting of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), recently, released a handbook on the subject “Safety in Electrical Installations – A way forward to Safety by National Electrical Code of India” and Guide for Using National Building Code of India 2016.

Along with these two important documents, three pamphlets for awareness of the general public about their rights and duties while constructing their own home or buying one from a builder are also developed.

The handbook on Safety in Electrical Installations is jointly developed by BIS and International Cooper Association (ICA) India. This handbook will create awareness about Electrical Safety and provides technical guidance for wiring installations in buildings. The design, installation, and other features provided in the handbook will help in understanding the purpose and application in a simplistic way. This will help electrical engineers and technicians to understand the basic need and procedures for safe and reliable electrical Low Voltage installations.

National Building Code of India 2016 (NBC 2016) is a technical document in which all provisions relating to planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of buildings are covered. Implementation of these codal provisions ensures the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility, and sustainability of buildings.

In order to promote the use of NBC 2016, this simplified guide for using the Code has been brought out by BIS for all stakeholders like academicians, students, building authorities, builders, and most importantly building professionals like architects, engineers, plumbers, etc. for understanding the contents of various Parts/Sections of the Code and their interconnection.
