Electrical wiring in North America follows regulations and standards for installation of building wiring. Electrical wiring in the United States is generally in compliance with the National Electrical Code, a standard sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association which has been periodically revised since 1897. Local amendments or supplements to this model code are common in American cities or states. For electrical wiring in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code is a very similar standard published in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association since 1927.
