NFPA 70B Requirements
The updated NFPA guidelines include updated language, marking a shift from a manufacturer’s recommendation of maintenance to noting an Electrical Maintenance Plan (EMP) is a formal plan facilities shall have in place moving forward. This new verbiage focuses on preventing risks or injuries through regular equipment maintenance, personnel training, and accurate documentation.
- Program development and implementation: establishing a systematic maintenance program tailored to the specific needs of the facility.
- Maintenance procedures: detailed instructions for inspecting, testing, cleaning, lubricating, and repairing various electrical equipment.
- Testing and diagnostics: identifying potential problems through electrical testing and diagnostic techniques.
- Documentation and recordkeeping: recording maintenance activities and test results for future reference and analysis.
- Team training: ensuring the team responsible for electrical equipment maintenance are adequately trained and qualified.
