Electrical Safety,
Quality and Reliability
With its unique
properties,
copper provides
electrical safety
for people
and property
in building
construction
applications
There is an on-going need to improve the safety, security and reliability of building wire
systems used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
ICA’s approach focuses on working with governments, industry and the building industry
to improve standards and work practices in our target countries.
Copper electrical conductors increase facility safety and quality, improving the
performance of the construction and adding, in turn, value to the property. Copper’s
exceptional strength, durability and resistance to creeping and corrosion make it the
safest conductor for commercial and residential building wiring. Copper is easy to install
and offers excellent performance.
Stakeholders Parties
National and State Governments, Standards Boards, Builders, Architects, Supply
Chain, Energy Regulators, Installer Associations and Government Agencies.
Focus Areas
The areas that the ICA Electrical Safety, Quality and Reliability program focuses on are:
1. Improvement of standards to global best practice levels,
2. Promotion of quality electrical wiring and products through certification,
3. Development and support of electrical training and certification of installers,
4. Promotion of awareness of best practices to consumers, builders, architects,
installers and suppliers.
Societal Benefits
The improvement of standards and installation practices for building wire across
the Asia region yields positive societal benefits such as:
1. Improved building wire practices increase efficiency and reduce energy losses
2. The installation of better quality conductors reduces the threat of fire and loss
of life
3. The application of better standards and material ensures longevity and
efficiency of the building wire system which reduces the life time costs to the
building owners and tenants.
4. Improved building wire standards improves power quality which reduces
losses in terms of product, energy and damage to equipment.
