Rules for Electrical Installations (PUE) current version for 2021
Rules for the Construction of Electrical Installations PUE - a group of all-Union regulatory documents of the USSR Ministry of Energy, regulatory documents of the Russian Ministry of Energy and documents of other countries. Rules for the design of electrical installations PUE apply to newly constructed and reconstructed electrical installations of direct and alternating current with voltage up to 750 kV, including special electrical installations... PUE is a document that is used along with GOSTs, SP and SNiPs by design engineers, electricians and other workers whose activities are related to electrical installations, engineering networks and communications.
Rules for the Construction of Electrical Installations PUE is not a document in the field of standardization and is not a single document and was published in separate chapters, one of which was called “General Part” and established general requirements. Collections of PUE documents were published under the name “publications”.
Status of PUE for 2021 in the countries of the former USSR:
— in the Russian Federation, the current chapters 6 and 7 of the PUE are valid as of 01/01/2021;
— TKP 339-2011 is valid in the Republic of Belarus, introduced for the first time in 2011 to replace a number of chapters of the PUE 6th edition and its remaining chapters;
— in Ukraine, the 2009 PUE is valid (similar to the 7th edition).

The current version of the PES does not take into account the simultaneously existing requirements for the protection of electrical installations:
- GOST R 50571.17-2000 (IEC 60364-4-482-82) Electrical installations of buildings. Part 4. Security requirements. Chapter 48. Selection of protective measures depending on external conditions. Section 482. Fire protection,
- GOST R 50571-4-44-2011 (IEC 60364-4-44:2007) Low-voltage electrical installations. Part 4-44. Security requirements. Protection against voltage fluctuations and electromagnetic interference.
After the adoption of the Law “On Technical Regulation” dated December 27, 2002 N 184-FZ (as amended on November 28, 2018), the Ministry of Justice refused to register twenty-three new chapters of the seventh edition of the PUE.
In 2021, Law No. 196-FZ dated June 23, 2016 “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Electric Power Industry” in terms of improving the requirements for ensuring the reliability and safety of electric power systems and electric power facilities” was adopted, establishing requirements for:
- the functioning of electric power systems, including ensuring the stability and reliability of electric power systems, modes and parameters of operation of electric power facilities and power receiving installations, relay protection and automation, including emergency and regime automation;
- functioning of electric power facilities and energy receiving installations;
- planning the development of electric power systems;
- safety of electric power facilities and energy receiving installations;
- training workers in the electric power industry to work at electric power facilities and power receiving installations.
The changes also provide that the requirements for the equipment of electric power facilities and power receiving installations as products are established in accordance with the law of the Eurasian Economic Union and the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Currently, there are national technical regulations establishing requirements for consumer electrical installations and electrical equipment:
- Federal Law of December 30, 2009 N 384-FZ “Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures” (as amended on July 2, 2013),
- SP 76.13330.2016 Electrical devices. Updated edition of SNiP 3.05.06-85,
- SP 256.1325800.2016 “Electrical installations of residential and public buildings. Rules for design and installation”,
- Federal Law of July 22, 2008 N 123-FZ “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” (as amended on December 27, 2021).
- “Safety rules for power receiving installations. Features of electrical wiring in buildings with conductive copper conductors or conductors made of aluminum alloys.” Approved by Order of the Ministry of Energy of Russia dated October 16, 2017 No. 968. The relevant requirements of the PUE were recognized as not subject to application from December 2021.
For products for which the technical regulations of the Customs Union or the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Community have not entered into force, the norms of the legislation of the Customs Union and the legislation of the Parties in the field of technical regulation apply. At the moment, the PUE does not apply to Russian legislation in the field of technical regulation.
Currently in the Russian Federation there are technical regulations of the Customs Union related to electrical installations:
- TR TS 004/2011 On the safety of low-voltage equipment (as amended as of October 25, 2021);
- TR TS 012/2011 On the safety of equipment for work in explosive environments;
- TR CU 020/2011 Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment (as amended on February 3, 2015).

Basic documents
Electrical installation rules apply to both government agencies and private developers. In accordance with their provisions, the initial stage of work should be a well-designed wiring diagram in an apartment in an apartment building. The paper must be approved by the management company that issues the Technical Specifications.
The standards for laying electrical wiring in residential premises are regulated by the following acts:
- Rules for electrical installations (PUE) - planning and installation, connections and switching, use of materials.
- GOST 31565-2012 - fire safety, fire prevention.
- GOST 50571.15-97 - rules for laying lines, installation methods on various surfaces.
- SP 256.1325800.2016 - grounding and safety, insulation and dimensions.
- SNiP 31-110-2003 - placement of devices, distance and installation locations.
Violation of the rules for laying wiring in an apartment entails administrative and financial liability.
The requirements of the Electrical Installation Rules are mandatory for all organizations, regardless of ownership and organizational and legal forms, as well as for individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity.
