19. SUMMARY
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.
