When an electricity distributor gives out electricity, it needs to follow certain rules. These rules are set by the government and are written down in special documents called regulations. The regulations that talk about electricity standards are made under something called section 169. You can think of these standards as guidelines that make sure the electricity you get at home or school is safe and works properly. The electricity company has to make sure they follow these rules all the time when they’re sending electricity to people.
