Abstract :
In a scenario of worldwide globalization, a comparative analysis of international electrical safety standards with an understanding of their similarities and differences will emphasize the range of definition, the "meaning" and organization of the rule systems. To study the other "way" compels a better understanding of one\´s own "way" by imparting information of "different" solutions and promotes the training for new interests. An independent first goal could be the enhancing of each system. Another goal could be the design of new integrated common means for enhancing the updated solutions with actual safety progress. These actions can originate a natural process of agreement. The globalization requires cooperation by the national, international and intercontinental organisms in the effort of creating an Electrical Consulting Board (ECB) in the electrical field, as an operating, interfacing and coordinating authority, representative of all the actual organisms
