the organization is lobbying for the implementation of the EE law, which states that every building/facility must have an EE. this is not just to provide employment for EE but to ensure the safety of the premises itself. most people do not know that EE is the child of the Fire Dept, the EE office is always under the Fire Protection Agency. EE makes sure that electricity will not cause fires in buildings.
i agree...NEC is also NFPA 70...in US, what about PEC?the organization is lobbying for an EE in every building...is it successful in lobbying a licenced EE for every Fire Dept and OBO in every municipality?how about ERC? there are non-EE's that are testing meters, inspecting utility's CPCN compliance, and investigating RA 7832 violations in this regulatory agency.
kahit sa North America, hindi required ang EE for every building...Building operator or Stationary Engineer ang license ng mga superintendent...required pa ang Construction and Maintenance Electrician for every building.ung Meter Tester...ang license, Meter Journeyman hindi Mechanical Engineer.kung RA7832 sa pulis lang...possibleng mag-abuse ang utility.
IEEE has set technical standards for manufacturers worldwide.the IIEE organization should remain focus on lobbying for an EE position in every municipality and fire department...an EE in every building does not exist in America where NEC (copied by other codes worldwide) is developed...
IEEE sets the standard for usa and usa territories only. the europeans previously used EN standards (plus now CE). now, there is an IEC standard that the country uses for many products, including electrical appliances. there are more than 70 countries are members, several more countries are affiliate members. members include Japan, members of the EU (UK, france, etc) and the usa (represented by ANSI and NEMA). the standards for power quality contained in the phil distribution code come from the IEC standard.
