neutral  Peter Steenbergen: Dergelijke normen verschillen van land tot land waardoor zo'n term m.i. onvertaalbaar is. Het beste kun je er tussen haakjes een beschrijving achter zetten, eventueel voorzien van een Nederlandse equivalent, maar die ken ik helaas niet.

national electrical code
NEN 1010


Explanation:
The Dutch regulations on electrical installations are set out in NEN 1010, Veiligheidsbepalingen voor laagspanningsinstallaties.

See:

But as has already been mentioned, you will probably want to avoid creating any impressions of *equivalence* in your translation...
