NFPA 70B in summary:

What Is the NFPA 70B Standard?

NFPA 70B is now a mandatory standard, not just a recommendation, for electrical equipment maintenance.

  • Proactive Maintenance: with documented electrical maintenance programs (EMP), regular inspections, and testing.

  • Safety and Reliability: through early detection of issues to prevent equipment failures and electrical hazards.  Tools like thermal imaging are required at 12 months or 6 months intervals depending on the asset’s condition (Section 7.2.1.1 and Table 9.2.2).

  • Structured Approach: with guidelines for maintenance interval, procedures, and required personnel qualifications and training.

In short, NFPA 70B sets the rules for keeping electrical systems safe and working correctly through planned, regular maintenance.

Testo and NFPA 70B

NFPA 70B, "Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance," has undergone a significant transformation, moving from a "recommended practice" to a "standard" in its 2023 edition. This change implies that its guidelines are now enforceable, marking a crucial shift in electrical equipment maintenance.
