...more about Rural Utilities Service

With more than 60 years of experience, the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) has found that electric utility construction, operation, and maintenance are best when high-quality, long-lasting materials are used. Because the quality of materials is so important to program objectives, RUS continues to require that borrowers observe RUS standards and use Technical Standards Committee “A” (Electric) accepted products on their systems whether they use RUS loan funds, their own general funds, or other sources of financing assistance.

Committee “A” considers requests from manufacturers and makes determinations as to whether the products comply with applicable RUS and national industry standards and specifications and if the products can be expected to perform satisfactorily in the harsh environments of rural America. The Technical Standards Committees limit acceptance to one product per manufacturer for a specific category of product; this limitation allows manufacturers to concentrate on one design for rural electric borrowers, enabling the manufacturers to pass the efficiencies of standardization on to their customers.
