Who publishes the NEC?

Who publishes the NEC?

• A. American National Standards Institute
• B. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
• C. National Electrical Manufacturers Association
• D. National Fire Protection Association

Answer: (D)

The NEC is published by the National Fire Protection Association. The National Electrical Code, often referred to as NFPA 70, is developed and maintained by NFPA and is updated on a three-year cycle. While ANSI accredits standards and IEEE develops other electrical standards, neither publishes the NEC. NEMA is a trade association for manufacturers and does not publish the code. Jurisdictions adopt the NEC as law to regulate electrical installations.
