NFPA 70: NEC has been published since 1897, and a rigorous process of review keeps it up-to-date with new technologies.

| Description: | Major additions reflect the continuing growth in renewable power technology. The newest NEC addresses the advancement of privately owned wind and solar power generation and distribution equipment -- including coverage of higher voltage systems that were once only the utilities' domain. The new consumer role is a major factor in energy decentralization, and expanded NEC coverage is vital for designers, engineers, contractors, and AHJs.
Other NEC revisions protect the public and workers from deadly hazards. New labeling, such as detailed arc flash hazard warning on equipment, helps workers and supervisors assess electrical risks.
