The National Institute of Standardization and Metrology Technology (INTN), through the National Organization for Standardization (ONN), officially launched the PNAIEC 60906 Standard for tokens and sockets.
The ING. Ricardo Ramírez, Director of Electrical Safety, He pointed out that the PNAIEC 60906 Standard for Chips and Sockets was launched, which implies 2 electrical connections and 1 connection with the ground cable.
The aforementioned technical document was prepared based on the requirements of the (IEC) International Organization for Standardization, worldwide pioneer in the preparation and publication of international standards in the field of electrical, electronic and related technologies. Technologies that as a whole are known as electrical engineering.
“The facilities in our country in many homes are very precarious and generate a large number of accidents and even deaths,” said the expert on the Paraguay TV program Tribuna. Although they do not have statistics, it is common to hear that they register accidents, short circuits and deaths due to electrical problemsso that with the new standard, which translates into 2 electrical connectors and 1 ground cable point, a better quality standard would be ensured.

The main objective of this security document is to establish a gGeometry for the country, for the uniformity of tokens and outlets, with a view to standardizing a modelseeking to provide greater security to all people and facilities, at the time of manipulation in the home electrical system.
Notably all regulations are voluntaryHowever, this implementation represents an important advance, towards the regulation, for the subsequent validity of the obligatory nature, of the use of the model of tokens and outlets according to technical specifications.
Technical Committee
A committee made up of industry leaders, such as manufacturers, importers, certification bodies and test laboratories, customs, MIC, SEDECO, universities, independent electricians and others, has been working on regulations that cover specific issues, such as test requirements , product certification schemes, control mechanisms, among other points, for its future implementation.
