Don:
I agree, but believe that the current makeup and membership of the NFPA NEC Committees would not agree with deleting the subject of appliances, etc.
What about Articles 280 and 285, they are not required, and if they are installed then they will be inspected.
I am sure that the number of appliances, such as electric ranges, installed in the USA are many, and there are probably millions with 30 ampere cords, and many without the right connector, and some with pennies behind the old Edison base 30 ampere fuse under the right rear burner.
I really think that the 70E document is a step in the right direction, and can be expanded upon to become the inspectors tool.
What if we researched the entire NFC and especially 70B and 70E with the thought of installations only and an appliance code?
