• Several IEC standards are adopted by Peruvian Standards, but we will start the adoption of TC-31 standards by 2014.

• The hazardous locations classification is regulated by the Electrical Code. Classe I (Zones 0,1,2), Classe II and III (Divisions 1, 2).

• Currently, there are not both the certification of electrical products and the conformity assessment procedures; however, usually it requires the certification in the country of origin.

• The regulations on Explosive Atmospheres, cover in general way but not sistematically, the entire life cycle of plants containing hazardous areas; by means of compliance National Electrical Code and the regulations of the Hydrocarbons General Directorate.
