ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Is there another electrical code in the USA?

C-H,
actually the 2002 NEC edition, for the first time, lauded itself as an 'International Electrical Code'

All non compliant countries are now red tagged.

sorry mate.

Can not locate the text, some where in my files, the 1999 NEC TIA 99-1 (NFPA 70) added a sub-section (d) to the 90-1 Section titled " Relation to International Standard. ".

Did not copy the text into my NEC 1999 because I didn't think it would affect me.

Sparky,
are you saying that the non-NEC world is now considered the Axis of Electrical Evil? Is Bush coming to get us?

The NEC is the most accepted code around the USA and is used by many states.

I can remember the LA and LA County codes. Are they still published?

depends on the 'inspectors' C-H

Hey, with such inspections nobody would dare to perform anything else than top notch work.

pseudonym,Joe,iwire,and all concerned;

I apologize if my remarks offended anyone.(no,I did not look at pseudonym's profile before posting)I love this forum and have always felt like it is a great group of friends sitting around discussing just whatever comes to mind.Here lately it seems as though there can be no joking and everything has to be Politically Correct.

I felt like I was giving a silly response to what I considered to be a silly statement made by pseeudonym Isn't this what the NEC does?
Once again I apologize if anyone took offense at my response.

Chicago, and a few other places, have their own electrical codes. You can always copy theirs- but I wouldn't count on there being any earth-shaking differences!
