Best Answer

In the North American market the electrical code is based on safety standards. If an electrical fault causes damage or death, the reason as to why is established and a code written or re written so as to not have the event happen again. By having everyone use the same safety standard all installations are wired the same. This means that electricians and maintenance people will know what to expect when working on electrical installations. By maintaining this same standard throughout the industry, a level of safety is also maintained throughout the industry.
