Equipment maintenance impacts safety, downtime, and the cost of repairs. NFPA 70B works hand-in-hand with NFPA 70E® to help protect your personnel, your facility, and your business! Electrical systems are the lifeblood of your work, and proper maintenance is essential to the safety of your facility and your employees. Get guidance you can trust in NFPA 70B: Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance. Used alongside the requirements in NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, NFPA 70B helps facility managers develop and carry out an effective Electrical Preventive Maintenance (EPM) program for all types of equipment and assemblies. Contractors look to NFPA 70B for information about properly servicing equipment, and designers depend on it for developing specifications for installation that take maintenance into account.
