This site is a workspace for developing responses to proposed revisions to the 2017 National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) which will become the 2022(2023) NESC.

National Electrical Safety Code

The next public commenting opportunity will begin in late 2021

Note the following proposed changes to the 2017 edition:

    • Revisions to the scope statement.

    • A comprehensive revision of Section 14, Storage Batteries to recognize new battery technologies, applications, and their hazards

    • A new section covering new and emerging electric generation station technologies focusing on photovoltaic generating stations

The 891-page pre-print is copyright protected; watermarked for Mike's use only. Mike can work collaboratively online at any time with anyone wanting to co-author a response.

Also, on the CALL FOR COMMENT page, a cut from the first 10 pages of the pre-print is linked, in which the oversight committee has explicitly identified proposals seeking broader public comment.

Owing to copyright rules, we are unable to reproduce the entire document here to show those proposed change in context.
