Elektrik Tesisleri Proje Yönetmeliği (Regulation on Electrical Installation Projects)

Overview

The Elektrik Tesisleri Proje Yönetmeliği (Regulation on Electrical Installation Projects) was issued by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and published in the supplementary issue of Resmî Gazete No. 29221 on 30 December 2014. Its purpose is to ensure that project approvals comply with legislation, standards and specifications, that connection to the grid is compatible, and that the safety of life, property and environment is maintained. The purpose article was amended on 10 May 2021 (Article 1(1)).

The scope (Article 2(1)) is the preparation and approval of projects for new or modified electrical installations, and the authorisation of the bodies that approve projects and accept completed installations. For a designer, what matters in this frame is which hierarchy of standards a project must follow and whose signature it must carry when submitted for approval. The rule thus links the technical content of a project to a named, accountable professional.

Article 5(1)(a)-(b) sets out the hierarchy of standards to follow in design: Turkish Standards (TS) or standards accepted by TSE, EN standards published by CEN/CENELEC/ETSI, IEC/ISO standards, and internationally accepted codes such as IEEE, ASME and ASTM. Article 6(1)-(2) requires projects to be prepared and signed by engineers of the relevant discipline holding the required certificates. An electrical project therefore does not enter the approval process without the responsible engineer's signature.

This record is based on the consolidated text read from mevzuat.gov.tr, current as of November 2026. This summary does not cover all articles; for details such as acceptance procedures, authorisation conditions and penalty provisions, the regulation itself and the related Elektrik Tesisleri Kabul Yönetmeliği and Elektrik İç Tesisleri Yönetmeliği should be consulted.

Using it in design

• In export and QA, tag every rule and calculation with the standard used so the TR project-approval package can show the TS/EN/IEC/IEEE hierarchy.
• Include a signatory block for the responsible discipline engineer on exported drawings.
• For projects in Turkey, justify standard selection starting from TS or TSE-accepted standards.
• Assess the project-approval package together with the Acceptance Regulation and the Internal Installations Regulation.

Who should read it

Engineers and design offices preparing and submitting electrical projects in Turkey, and specialists managing acceptance procedures.
