Question: Whay are the Article numbers different?

NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety

II, and III, Divisions 1 and 2 and Class I,
Zones 0, 1, and 2 ............................... 70E– 84
450 Special Systems ................................. 70E– 87

PS: The 2002 NEC at that.

Seems like some don't want to discuss this issue, or don't know that it exists.

I believe 70E should be used as the primary safety code in the electrical industry.

Yes, I am aware that the NEC is the Installation Code and has a few items dealing with safety such as 110.16.

Personally, I would like to see 70E added to the NEC in some way.
