Europe (IEC) vs India (IS 732): rules compared

IEC 60364 vs Indian IS 732: voltage matches (230/400 V) but sockets (E/F/G vs D/M), earthing (TN vs TT), verification (EICR vs IS 732) differ.

Common base

Both from the British tradition (BS 7671): 230/400 V, 30 mA RCDs, mm² sizes.

Sockets

Europe: Schuko/E/F/G. India: D/M (three round pins, 6/16 A, BS 546-compatible).

Earthing

Europe: TN-S/TN-C-S. India: TT with local electrode (IS 3043, ≤ 5 Ω) — RCDs mandatory.

Verification

Europe: EICR every 5–10 years. India: testing per IS 732 section 10; licensed electricians.
