The digital edition of the new NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) 2026 is now available on the NFPA website. Its under both the free access and paid access parts of the NFPA website, choose wisely.

The printed edition of NEC 2026 and handbook will be out in December.


State and local jurisdictions will be updating their low voltage (data or communications) licensing requirements. As always an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) could always accept or require variations, but now Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 is explicitly covered.
