IEEE and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) conducted a National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®) Change Proposal Workshop in April 2018 in Savannah, Georgia. The NESC has been in continuous use since August 1914 and is the authoritative code for ensuring the safeguarding of employees and utility facilities during the installation, operation and maintenance of electric supply and communication facilities.
The 2022 NESC Revision Submission period opened April 2, 2018, with a deadline of July 16, 2018. Stakeholders are invited to submit edits, changes, and additions for the NESC in order to be considered for inclusion in the 2022 edition, which will be released in August 2021.
