Healthcare Facilities Code
Yesterday's end of the public comment period on the 2027 Healthcare Facilities Code precedes our work on the 2029 National Electrical Code ( which accepts new input until next Thursday).

During our regular Office Hours, we compare and contrast the two codes side by side. Please use the login credentials located at the upper right of our home page.
