Due to differences in testing standards across the globe it is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe for consumer andindustrial use. What was once a general and loosely regulated industry is now being flooded with stringent national and international safety standards. The recent harmonization of safety standards in the European Union has led to an increased concern by manufacturers to make sure that their products comply with EU specifications.

Meanwhile, regulatory bodies like UL have led to stricter rules on electrical products sold domestically. Although manufacturers of electrical products are becoming more familiar with electrical safety testing and compliance,many are still unfamiliar with this crucial part of the production process.

Safety agencies have implemented and enforced electrical safety testing for one reason to protect consumers from potentially fatal electric shock. Many injuries and electrocutions are caused by either electrical products with faulty insulation or a product with a defeated safety grounding system.

The insulation in question is used to separate the powerline circuit from everything else: low voltage circuits, isolated power supplies, the chassis or case of the product,etc.This insulation prevents current from an ordinary household outlet, an almost unlimited power source, from becoming hazardous by finding a ground/earth path with something that is not meant to be a ground path. 

Many manufacturers have heard terms such as UL listing, or CE mark, but aren't sure what they mean or how they apply to their products. Both of these terms and more are used within the electrical safety compliance industry. Electrical safety compliance is a general term used to describe the testing procedures a manufacturer's product must pass in order to be deemed safe to sell to consumers within specific countries. Many countries around the world, including the U.S.A., have their own test procedures to which electrical products must comply.

With the strictness in the world it is also getting strict in India to have these standards and follow a better system in all the aspects of maintenence.
