NFPA 70B: The Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance (2023 Edition)

Protect your facility, business, and personnel with the latest requirements for effective electrical system maintenance. The NFPA 70B, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, outlines crucial guidelines for preventive maintenance on electrical, electronic, and communication systems in industrial, institutional, commercial, and large residential buildings.

A major change in the 2023 edition is its conversion from a recommended practice into a binding standard, making its provisions mandatory requirements. Used alongside NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, this document provides the framework for helping to safeguard workers, minimize equipment downtime, and reduce repair costs.

The standard addresses key aspects of equipment maintenance, including:

• Planning and implementing an electrical preventive maintenance program for all equipment and assemblies.

• Maintenance procedures for electrical equipment that is subject to long intervals between shutdowns.

• Guidelines for grounding and ground-fault protection.

• Detailed chapters on numerous types of assemblies, equipment, cables, and devices.
