Balloting on the first stage of development of the 2023 National Electrical Code is underway now and will be completed by March 26th. We collaborate with several experts in the IEEE who are the leading voices in standards setting for ICT infrastructure present in education communities. The issues are many and complex and fast-moving. We provide transcripts and a sample of the issues that will determine the substance of the 2023 Edition.
Code Making Panel No. 3 Public Input Report
A sample of concepts in play:

Fire resistive cabling systems
Multi-voltage (single junction, entry, pathway or connection) signaling control relay equipment
Listing of audio/video power-limited circuits
Code Making Panel No. 16 Public Input Report
A sample of concepts in play:
Definition of “Communication Utility”
Mechanical execution of work
Listed/Unlisted cables entering buildings
Underground communication cabling coordination with the National Electrical Safety Code
Public comment on the First Draft of the 2026 revision will be received until August 24, 2024. We collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which hosts open colloquia 4 times monthly in European and American time zones.
