National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)

The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation

of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. It is part of the National Fire Codes series

published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a private trade association. Despite the use

of the term "national", it is not a federal law. It is typically adopted by states and municipalities in an effort

to standardize their enforcement of safe electrical practices. In some cases, the NEC is amended, altered

and may even be rejected in lieu of regional regulations as voted on by local governing bodies.
