Description:

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.

This presentation will assist attendees by removing anxiety about getting involved in the process to develop what the industry refers to as "Good Code." Good Code is understandable, practical, and enforceable. Learn how to develop an effective Code proposal and become more active in writing the NEC rules. The electrical contractor has a vested interest in understanding the NEC and has a great opportunity to participate in its development. This course is essential to assist electrical contractors who are interested in staying current with electrical Code rules those that desire to become an active part of the process.
