Pete --
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked on the NFPA.org website at the NFPA 70
draft dated 4-8-2016 and there is a new section 422.6:
"422.6 Listing Required
All appliances operating at 50 volts or more shall be listed."
The definition for "Listed" in article 100 of NFPA 70 is complicate
Thanx to Joe and all for the comments,
With Joe’s explanation I now know 2 people who follow the NEC
changes regularly; it doesn’t seem to be too common in this circle. But my
earlier point remains, it is possible to keep up with these changes by being
part of the process.
As far as I know in North Carolina the NEC is adopted by version so the 2017
version will not apply until specifically adopted. NC usually waits a few
years after the initial release for things to shake out before adopting the
latest. And I believe the local inspector in NC has authority to ac

Power Supplies. The whole Level VI thing.

Not only do states adopt specific versions, they often adopt just parts of
specific versions. And unless they put specific language in the adoption
law to allow newer or older sections, they are usually bound by what

Hi Pete:
Here’s my experience with keeping track of upcoming changes in NFPA 70.
For the last two years I have been following the development of the 2017
edition of NFPA 70 because of some changes that it makes to Article 840,

Hello Scott,
The CPSC list you provided a link to covers mandatory national requirements for
products covered by the CPSC. The key words are “national” and “mandatory”.
There is no mandatory national safety requirement for televisions,
refrigerators or many other consumer electrical products. O
Hi Ted,
Appreciate your detailed explanation that is very useful for me! OSHA
requirements are primarily on the use of equipment at work.

All of these changes are done in an open forum and the documents

What a web of "interconnecting" (and not!) US regulations, standards, codes
and regulatory authorities!. But we still sometimes then get US-based
questions on the "European Wiring Regs" or similar - seems like a case of
"Physician, heal thyself" first. J
