THE ELECTRICAL CODE
Design of an electrical system involves applying the standards
written into the building code. An electrical code specifies the
minimum provisions necessary for protecting people and
property from the improper use of electricity and electrical
equipment. It applies to both the manufacture and installation
of electrical equipment.

PS
As the Code is revised and a new edition is enacted into local
law, previously acceptable regulations may become outdated;
that is, what was formerly an acceptable electrical installation
may no longer be acceptable. The newly enacted Code
generally applies to new installations only. Existing electrical
installations that do not meet the current, more stringent
regulations still remain permissible as long as they are not
regarded as a hazard

There is also Philippine Electrical Code. The requirements in
this Code address the fundamental principles of protection for
safety contained in Section 131 of International Electrotechnical
Commission Standard 60364-1, Electrical Installations of
Buildings. The Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) is a modified
version of the National Electrical Code.
