Description
In each technical field, and in particular in the electrical sector, a condition
sufficient (even if not necessary) for the realization of plants according to the
“status of the art” and a requirement essential to properly meet the demands
of customers and of the community, is the respect of all the relevant laws and
technical standards.
Therefore, a precise knowledge of the standards is the fundamental premise
for a correct approach to the problems of the electrical plants which shall be
designed in order to guarantee that “acceptable safety level” which is never
absolute.
Juridical Standards
These are all the standards from which derive rules of behavior for the juridical
persons who are under the sovereignty of that State.
Technical Standards
These standards are the whole of the prescriptions on the basis of which
machines, apparatus, materials and the installations should be designed, manufactured and tested so that efficiency and function safety are ensured.
The technical standards, published by national and international bodies, are
circumstantially drawn up and can have legal force when this is attributed by
a legislative measure.
