The National Electrical Code (NEC®)
The NEC® is the most widely adopted electrical code in the world, setting the minimum requirements to ensure electrical installations are safe for people and property.
For contractors, knowledge of the NEC is not optional—it is a fundamental part of doing business in the electrical industry.
Through NECA membership, you gain access to resources and education that help you:
- Stay current on NEC updates and changes
- Apply code requirements confidently in the field
- Reduce risk and ensure compliance across projects
National Electrical Installation Standards (NEISâ„¢)
While the NEC establishes minimum safety requirements, NECA’s National Electrical Installation Standards (NEIS™) go further defining the performance and workmanship expectations for installation.
These ANSI-approved standards provide practical guidance for:
- Installing electrical systems correctly and consistently
- Meeting project specifications and owner expectations
- Delivering high-quality, professional workmanship
NEIS standards are widely used by contractors, engineers, and project owners and are often referenced alongside the NEC to ensure both safety and quality are achieved.
