NEC CODE MAKING PANEL COMMITTEE REPORT NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE - CODE MAKING PANEL 13

摘要

The NFPA hosted the Report on Comments (ROC) meeting of the National Electrical Code in Redondo Beach, California, from November 25, 2012 through December 8, 2012. There are 19 code making panels, which met at various times throughout that period. Code Making Panel 13 (CMP13) covers Articles 445, 480, 690, 695, 700, 701, 702, and 708, all of which cover emergency and standby systems such as battery systems and generators, both portable and permanently-installed. The NEC is still under the old NFPA process of the Report on Proposals and Report on Comments. The new process, which the NFPA 70E committee uses (and the NEC will be using next code cycle) uses First Revision and Second Revision. The two processes are very different, and NFPA decided that since the NEC had started under the old process, it would continue using the old process for this cycle. The actions discussed in the column are overviews and do not contain all the details needed to incorporate the upcoming changes.
