9. Conclusion

The significant increase in the quantity of organic matter in electrical equipment, and the densification or miniaturization of circuits, have gradually made electrical equipment more vulnerable and also, perhaps, more likely to create a source of energy for the formation of a fire. In response to these undeniable facts, the entire industry - manufacturers and users alike - has become increasingly aware of fire-related issues, right from the product design stage. Significantly improved knowledge of fire-related issues in general, but above all constant attention to the design of equipment and its use, have made electrical equipment safe. Standardization, recognizing the challenges that have gradually emerged, has armed itself and continues to work relentlessly to minimize risks. Upstream of standardization, prevention aspects are being developed and even brought to the attention of the...
