## ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CODE[Philippines)

**Philippine Electrical Code Part 1 History**
**The first edition of the Philippine Electrical Code Part 1 was published in 1962 under the sponsorship of the Philippine Association of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers (PAMEE). Prior to the adoption of the new Philippine Electrical Code, the National Electrical Code of the United States was the accepted electrical safety standard in the country. However, not all rules were applicable to local conditions. So there was a need to prepare a Philippine Electrical Code. It was adopted by the Board of Electrical Engineering Examiners in Board Resolution No. 9 dated November 27, 1962 and approved by the Civil Service Commission/Board of Examiners.**
**The second edition published in 1969, incorporated new rules, new materials and new revision. This was prepared by the original members of the 1962 Code Committee of the PAMEE.**

## ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CODE[Economy)

**The third edition was published in 1973, this time under the sponsorship of the Philippine Society of Electrical Engineers (PSEE), to which the full responsibility of updating the Electrical Code was relinquished by PAMEE. It was adopted by the Board of Electrical Engineering Examiners under Board Resolution No. 7, dated June 11, 1973 and approved by the Office of the President/Board of Examiners.**
**The 1980 (fourth) edition of the Code was deliberated starting in 1974 by the Code Committee appointed by the PSEE. In 1975, before the revisions could be completed, the PSEE was dissolved and in its place the INSTITUTE OF INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS OF THE PHILIPPINES, INC. (IIEE) was organized. In the same year, the new professional organization which is accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission, took over the revision of the Code.**

**This edition has been revised completely as to the units of measurement, contents, and numbering. Metrication is one of most significant change – with the proclamation of Presidential Decrees 187 and 748, it was necessary to convert all English units used in the previous edition to metric units. The metric sizes of electric wires and cables are based on the recommendation of the Technical Committee on Electric Wires and Cables of the Philippine Bureau of Product Standards and approved by the Metric Systems Board.**
**The fifth edition of the Code was adopted in March 1987 by the Board of Electrical Engineering and approved by the Professional Regulation Commission.  The chapter on Watercraft was totally updated and rewritten establishing the requirements covering the entire electrical shipboard   installation   from   the   power   plant   for the generation of**
