Common roots

All CIS countries inherited Soviet PUE-6 (1985); each went its own way after 1991.

Belarus: TKP 45

TKP 45-4.04-207 + PUE: close to Russian requirements (30 mA RCDs, TN-C-S).

Kazakhstan: PUE RK

National edition (2016), harmonized with IEC: TN-S/TN-C-S/TT, 30 mA RCDs, local GOST references.

Central Asia and Caucasus

Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan/Tajikistan — PUE-6/7 with local changes; Armenia/Azerbaijan/Georgia — transition to IEC 60364.
