Re: Liability & responsibility of electrician?

National Electrical code is adopted by the state in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Verginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

In a few of these states there is also local adoption of the nationel electrical code, which must excede the requirements of the version adopted. (some are still on 2002, others on 2005, and still others on

2008)

Nevada does not adopt or enforce statewide codes. Illinois is locally adopted in the majority of the state. Hawaii has no state-wide code. Arizona has adopted the code in Phoenix and Tuscon areas.

21 cities and states in Alabama have adopted the code in one version or another.

This is all available at

in spreadsheet form for those who need the "cite"

Also:

As for licencing, only Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas do not licence electricians.

See

for cite.

The electrical review committee last met in November 2008 and recommended the adoption of the 2008 NEC without amendment. and have forwarded their recommendations to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Commerce Division. On approximately February 6, 2009 Mara Snyder, Director of Legal and Code Services for the Homeland Department directed staff to delete 2008 expanded requirements for AFCI and the new requirement for tamper resistant as an administrative deleteion citing financial impact as the reason. Currently awaiting the department's official report.

The 2005 version is currently in effect throughout Indiana by state law.

You are correct however, in that Indiana has no trade licencing for electricians.

In other words, it's *not* adopted nationally.

Which, of course, shows clearly that it has *not* been "adopted nationally". Thank you for providing that.

No. It mans you quoted the wrong post. I did not write that.

No, it means I didn't trim the attributions properly. Sorry about that.

It is nasty when you are running a metal fish tape through the walls!

Fires, electrocutions, a lot was installed long before there was any regulations, so it is done badly and is in exposed locations. Wiring that had the insulation chewed off by animals in outbuildings. Some is close to 100 years old.

No, of course not -- but you still don't have any idea what you're talking about.
