GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERTISE Appleton electrical products help protect refinery production in India, ensure pipeline flow in South Africa, and maintain deep sea drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Our worldwide presence demands mastery of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ATEX Directive and the North American (NEC/CEC) rules and a full product line for every application throughout hazardous locations.
IEC STANDARDS and EN STANDARDS are identical. IEC STANDARDS have IEC/ATEX become the universal reference across Europe and are adopted along with other admissible standards in much of the rest of the world. IEC uses three Zones to classify hazardous environment conditions based on the duration and amount of combustible exposed. IEC is continuously reviewed by a technical board for updates and revisions.
NEC/CEC STANDARDS NEC/CEC operate across the U.S., Canada, the Middle East and various locations across the globe. NEC code is reviewed and updated in three year cycles. The CEC code is updated regularly through their 9,000 members and its active involvement with the IEC. NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE/CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC/CEC) The NEC has been the standard for electrical wiring and equipment installations in the United States since 1897.
