IEEE Std 602, commonly known as the IEEE White Book , is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to provide a recommended practice for the design and operation of electric systems in health care facilities. It has been prepared on a voluntary basis by design engineers and health care end users as well as electrical and medical manufacturers functioning as the White Book Working Group within the Power Systems Design Subcommittee of the Power Systems Engineering Subcommittee.

This recommended practice will probably be of greatest value to the power oriented engineer with limited health care experience. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the electrical design of health care facilities. However, it is not intended as a replacement for the many excellent engineering texts and handbooks commonly in use, nor is it detailed enough to be a design manual. It should be considered a guide and a general reference on electrical design for health care facilities.

The IEEE is divided into 42 societies that specialize in various technical areas of electrical engineering. Each group or society conducts meetings and publishes papers on developments within its specialized area. The Industry Applications Society (IAS) presently encompasses 18 technical committees covering electrical engineering in specific areas (petroleum and chemical industry, cement industry, glass industry, industrial and commercial power systems, and others). The Power Systems Engineering Subcommittee, which has responsibility for the White Book Working Group, is part of the Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Department of the IAS. Papers of interest to electrical engineers and designers involved in the field covered by the IEEE White Book are, for the most part, contained in the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications of the IAS. The IAS also publishes the IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, which reports on the development and application of electrical systems, apparatus, devices, and controls to the processes and equipment of industry and commerce; the promotion of safe, reliable, and economic installations; the encouragement of energy conservation; and the creation of voluntary engineering standards and recommended practices.
