NFPA 70/National Electrical Code

The National Fire Code (NEC) series published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection to protect people and property from electrical hazards. The NFPA 70E, considered the current “Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace,” encompasses general requirements for electrical installations, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, and communication systems. DRONE Electrical Solutions understands that knowledge of and adherence to NEC/NFPA 70 standards is an inherent component of responsibly performing electrical work.
