The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, commonly known as the National Electrical Code (NEC), 2011 Edition, is a set of regulations designed to ensure safe electrical installations and minimize the risk of electrical fires, shock hazards, and other electrical-related injuries. It provides comprehensive guidelines for the installation, maintenance, and inspection of electrical systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The 2011 Edition introduced updates to improve safety, such as requirements for arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) in certain areas, expanded provisions for energy-efficient lighting systems, and stricter rules for grounding and bonding. It serves as a national standard adopted by local governments and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to maintain safe electrical practices across the United States.
