NFPA 70B: What you Need to Know to Stay Compliant | September 2025
In 2023, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) redefined the rules of electrical maintenance by elevating NFPA 70B from a recommended practice to an enforceable standard. This critical shift reshapes how facilities must approach electrical system upkeep, moving from optional guidelines to mandatory, condition-based maintenance. Non-compliance may carry serious consequences, including increased safety risks, operational downtime, and costly penalties. For facility owners, managers, and maintenance teams, understanding and implementing the new requirements isn’t just important; it’s essential. Staying ahead of these changes is the key to maintaining compliance, protecting your facility, and safeguarding your workforce.
