NFPA 73:
Standard for Electrical Inspections
for Existing Dwellings,
2011 Ed.
Reduce electrical
hazards and keep dwellings up-to-code with the 2011 NFPA 73!
Re-titled to facilitate use in the home
inspection community, the 2011 edition of NFPA 73: Standard
for Electrical Inspections for Existing Dwellings has the
latest provisions home inspectors need for verifying the safety of
electrical systems in one- and two-family homes, multi-family
dwellings with three or more units, mobile homes, and manufactured
homes.
Determine compliance objectives based
on the NEC®.
The 2011 NFPA 73 makes it easy
to identify where AFCI and GFCI protection is required by your state
or jurisdiction. A new Annex table shows when requirements for AFCI
and GFCI were added to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®)
by edition.
Confidently pinpoint dangerous fire
and shock risks.
Potential fire and shock hazards in aging
homes are classified with all-new coverage of topics in a technical
report issued by the Fire Protection Research Foundation.
The 2011 NFPA 73 calls out areas that
require investigation, examination, or inspection, including
coverage of incorrect conductor insulation temperature for wiring of
luminaries, and inappropriately used conductors or cables.
Promote public safety in your community with
thorough inspections of electrical systems in existing dwellings.
Insist on the latest edition of NFPA 73.
