Conducted by an active member of NEC Code-Making panel 18 and a former CMP Chairman, this presentation provides valuable insight about the National Electrical Code (NEC) development process. This course provides a concise outline of the NEC development timeline, stages of development, actions and debates by Code-Making panels, and the role of the electrical contractor.
