An '''electrical code''' is a set of regulations for electrical wiring. The intention of an electrical code is to provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems that are safe and unlikely to produce either [[electric shock]] or fires. Electrical codes are usually devised by national or international technical organizations, and adopted as law to make them enforceable. Electrical codes differ based on geographic area. See the following:
 
* [[DIN VDE]] ([[German Institute for Standardization]]) published by [[DIN]]-Norms is used in Germany
* [[National Electrical Code]] has been adopted for [[electrical wiring in North America|electrical wiring in the United States]] and for Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Colombia
* [[IEC 60364]] is used as a basis for electrical codes in many European countries
