Learn changes to revised code:
2024 Edition of NFPA 70E covered.
- Elimination of HRC 0 moving all electrical work into arc rated clothing (non-melting clothing required under AR clothing).
- New RISK-BASED assessment tables with strong requirements for proper equipment maintenance.
- Elimination of PPE for all closed-door operations.
- Term HRC is gone. Clothing companies likely to start using ARC.
- Most ARC PPE in tables is raised. No lowering for risk in tables.
- Calculations emphasized. Table’s usefulness now limited and requiring less or much more PPE.
