Avenler

Electrical standards by country

By country and by topic: the designation of the standard, its issuer and a link to the issuer's official page – together with which family of standards Avenler's calculation is based on. References for information: not the text of the standard, and not a declaration of conformity.

What does this page show?

Avenler keeps a register, by country and by topic, of the standards it refers to: the designation of the standard, its issuer, and a link to the issuer's official page. It follows four topics: wire and cable sizing, bathrooms and shower rooms, miniature circuit breakers (overcurrent protection) and drawing symbols.

For each reference you can see whether the standard is free to download, free to view, paid or legislation, and also whether the program's calculation is based on that family of standards, or the country has its own rules that the program does not check against. Where there is no verified reference for a country and topic, the page says so.

The country selector brings the selected country to the top; the sections of the other countries stay below it and can be opened. The symbol set of each country is shown on the electrical symbols page.

What does it not contain?

This page is not the text of the standard: it gives only the designation, the issuer and the link, not the content of the standard. It is not a declaration of conformity: the references are for information, and the conformity of the design is the responsibility of the electrical designer.

Where can you obtain a standard?

A standard is published by its issuer, typically the national standards body of the country; the links point to the issuer's page, where it can be bought or viewed. For a rule published as legislation, the link points to the issuer's page in the same way.
