The previous editions were brought out in 1972 and 1994. This revised specifications reflect the latest technological practice and trends prevalent in electrical technology applied to Electrical Installations of buildings. The Electrical Contents of the present day modern buildings have become very complex, which require very reliable, safe, uninterrupted Power Supply backed by standby systems, UPS and connected switchgear. The present edition addresses such complex requirements. I am sure that this edition would be very useful not only to the engineers of CPWD, but also to otker government departments and undertakings all over India who follow CPWD Specifications in their works.
