NEC
The National Electric Code (NEC) is a set of safety standards and guidelines for electrical wiring and installations in the United States. Published and updated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the NEC is designed to ensure safe electrical practices, prevent hazards like electrical fires, and protect both people and property. While it is not federal law, it is widely adopted and enforced by municipalities and states as a legal standard for electrical work.
