The ANSI PEARL Electrical Equipment Reconditioning Standard (ANSI PEARL EERS-2018) pertains to the reconditioning of electrical distribution equipment and accessories. This standard has been developed based on manufacturer’s literature; industrial standards; NETA, NFPA, CSA, IEEE and NEMA, and PEARL member recommendations. It is focused on the most common types of industrial and commercial electrical equipment, including circuit breakers, transformers, motor controls, and switchgear, among other equipment categories.

It also includes additional detail regarding suggested technician qualifications and the importance of manufacturer specifications for equipment performance, as well as expanded use of electrical industry terminology used by other electrical industry organizations.
