International Electro-technical Commission (IEC)
• is a global organization that develops standards for all electrical, electronic, and
related technologies.
EQUIPMENTS
• Electrical Technology – is the technology of producing, storing, controlling,

transmitting and getting work from electrical energy.
• Electric Machines – IEC standards specify safety requirements for various types of
electric motors, generators, and other rotating machines, ensuring safe operation and
preventing accidents
• Power Transformers – cover the design, manufacturing, testing, and operation of
power transformers, addressing potential hazards such as overheating, short circuits,
and electrical shocks
• Batteries and Capacitors – These standards ensure the safe handling, storage, and
use of batteries and capacitors, particularly in terms of preventing fires, explosions,
and electrical hazards
• Circuit Breakers – define the performance requirements and safety features of
circuit breakers, which are critical for protecting electrical circuits from excessive
currents and preventing fires.
• Magnetic Contractors – ensure the safe and reliable operation of magnetic
contactors, which are used to control electrical circuits.
• Load Break Switches and Others - specify the design and performance
requirements of load break switches, which are used to isolate electrical circuits
CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
• Wires and Cables - cover the materials, construction, and performance
requirements of wires and cables, ensuring that they are safe and suitable for their
intended applications.
• Connectors and Busbars - address the design, manufacturing, and testing of
connectors and busbars, ensuring that they are reliable and safe to use
• Insulators - specify the properties and performance requirements of insulators,
which are used to prevent electrical current from flowing where it is not intended
By adhering to IEC standards, electrical installation work can be made safer

by:
❖ Reducing the risk of electrical accidents
❖ Ensuring compatibility
❖ Improving reliability
❖ Facilitating international trade
Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS)
• originated in the early 20TH century to promote industrial development and

standardization in Japan.
A. ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL TESTING
• Enclosure Protection (IP Code) - categorizes the effectiveness of
enclosures in protecting electrical equipment from the intrusion of solid
objects (like dusts) and liquids (like water).
❖ JIS C 5401: Focuses on the safety and performance testing of
electrical appliances
❖ JIS C 60068 : Covers environmental testing for electronic equipment
❖ JIS C 7501 : Details methods for testing the insulation resistance of
electrical devices
• Marking Codes for Resistor
- provide essential information about their resistance value, tolerance, and
sometimes temperature coefficients, which are crucial for circuit design.
Color Values
➢ Black = 0
➢ Brown = 1
➢ Red = 2
➢ Orange = 3
➢ Yellow = 4
➢ Green = 5
➢ Blue = 6
➢ Violet = 7
➢ Gray = 8
➢ White = 9
➢ Gold = positive negative 5 % tolerance
➢ Silver = positive negative 10 % tolerance
• Fuel Cell System - convert chemical energy from fuels, typically hydrogen,
into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions, with water and heat
as byproducts.
Types of Fuel Cells
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFO)
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFO)
B. NON- FERROUS METALS
• Pure Metals Alloys - are metals that do not contain significant iron content,
including pure metals and their alloys
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes and Standards

- U.S. based international nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death,
injury, property, and economic loss due to fire, electrical, and related hazards.
FIRE PROTECTION SAFETY
• Life Safety System - systems are composed of elements that help ensure the
safety of a building’s occupants during an emergency such as a fire, earthquake,
security break-in, gas leak, or power failure.
• Safety System Testing
NFPA 285 this standard provides a test method for determining the fire
propagation characteristics of exterior wall assemblies and panels.
NFPA 20 requires annual inspections and more frequent testing depending on
the type of pump and usage.
• Extinguishing System
NFPA 10 requires that fire extinguishers be serviced annually by a certified
technician
NFPA 17 Standard for Dry Chemical Extinguishing System
FIRE EXTINGUISHER TYPES
➢ Water Fire Extinguisher
➢ Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher
➢ Foam Fire Extinguisher
➢ Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
➢ Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher
• Sprinkling System - active fire protection method, consisting of a water supply
system providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping
system
TYPES OF SPRINKLER HEADS FOR FIRE PROTECTION
➢ Pendent Fire Sprinkler Head - most common type and it’s mainly used in
offices,
➢ Sidewall Fire Sprinkler Head - generally used in tight spaces, such as
hallways or small rooms.
➢ Upright Fire Sprinkler Head - points upwards towards the ceiling. The
deflectors are also curved down so that the water sprays in hemispherical
position. They’re generally used in mechanical rooms or rooms that are
difficult to access.
➢ Concealed Fire Sprinkler Head - is very similar to a pendent fire sprinkler
head. However, the concealed head has a cover plate to help it better blend
into the ceiling.
• Fire Brigade - An organization that works to prevent unwanted fires and stop them
from burning
TYPES OF FIRE BRIGADE
1. Professional (full-time)
2. Volunteer
3. Combination (professional and volunteer)
4. Industrial (factory, plant, or facility-based)
5. Airport fire services
6. Wildland firefighting agencies
• Other System
