NFPA 73: Standard for Electrical Inspections
for Existing Dwellings,
2016 Ed.
Identify electrical
fire and shock risks and keep existing homes up-to-code with the
2016 edition of NFPA 73.
Developed by NFPA®, the NEC® source, for the
home inspection community along with apartment complex managers and
homeowners, NFPA 73: Standard for Electrical Inspections for
Existing Dwellings has the latest provisions home inspectors
need for verifying the safety of electrical systems in one- and
two-family homes, multi-family dwellings with three or more units,
mobile homes, and manufactured homes.
Determine compliance objectives based on the
NFPA 70®: National Electrical Code®
(NEC).
The 2016 NFPA 73 helps users identify AFCI and
GFCI protection requirements by NEC edition. Updated,
user-friendlier Annex tables show when and where AFCI and GFCI
protection were required, so it's easy to look up provisions based
on the year the dwelling was built.
Confidently pinpoint dangerous fire and shock
risks.
Potential fire and shock hazards in aging
homes are classified with coverage of topics in a technical report
issued by the Fire Protection Research Foundation. NFPA 73 calls out
areas that require investigation, examination, or inspection,
including coverage of incorrect conductor insulation temperature for
wiring of luminaries, and inappropriately used conductors or cables.
Consult NFPA 73 prior to an existing dwelling
sale and during/after renovations.
Promote public safety in your community with
thorough inspections of electrical systems in existing dwellings.
