National Electrical Manufacturers Association, created in the fall of 1926 by the merger of the Electric Power Club and the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies, provides a forum for the standardization of electrical equipment, enabling consumers to select from a range of safe, effective and compatible electrical products. The organization has also made numerous contributions to the electrical industry by shaping public policy development and operating as a central confidential agency for gathering, compiling and analyzing market statistics and economics data. The association promotes safety in the manufacture and use of electrical products, provides information about NEMA to the media and the public and represents industry interests in new and developing technologies.
