NFPA 70B Becomes an Industry Standard
Learn how the recent changes may impact your business
NFPA 70B Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance details preventive maintenance for electrical equipment to improve reliability and worker safety. In 2023, NFPA 70B evolved from a recommended practice into an industry standard, solidifying that its provisions are now enforceable. Some recommended practices were deemed unnecessary and removed, leaving only strictly prescriptive language. The remaining content was reworded, replacing words like "should" with words like "shall,” thereby reiterating the provisions’ importance and enforceability.
Electrical Reliability Services (ERS) is here to help you understand the changes and to inform you on how they impact your maintenance program. We have an in-depth knowledge of these requirements and are ready to help to ensure your program is compliant. Please explore the information below to learn more. The linked data sheet and on-demand webinar provide a high-level account of the changes, and the link to our Training Services page introduces our expert-created NFPA 70B course.
