      Seismic Council

      Seismic-councilIMG-300x265Manufacturers that sell products into seismically active zones need to be aware of requirements for product resilience and robustness and may also want to influence those regulations. The Seismic Council is the focal point of NEMA activities regarding the business and public policy opportunities associated with seismic qualification of electrical and medical imaging equipment for commercial building code applications.
