Code books

How often do you update your NEC books ?

 

[wbalsam1]

Every three years which is consistent with the code cycle changes. :smile:

Every three years.

We update with the AHJ in our area they do not change every three years but go six years between updates.

 

[480sparky]

I can't update mine. I bite the bullet and buy a new one every three years.

 

[William1978]

every 3 years.

 

[SEO]

Every three years as well.

 

[cowboyjwc]

Actually every two for us, because I have to get the next code book before it's adopted so that I can start learning and train the rest of the department. Even though we are cycle behind most of the rest of the country.

When ever mine wears out.

Although my area is usually slow to adopt a new NEC (we are still on the 02 until Jan 28 we go to 08) I always buy the next edition of the NEC as soon as they go on sale.

That still makes it every three years.

It's adopted every three, it's actually out before that. The 2008 was already out in 2006 or 2007 or at least the first edition was. The 2011 will be out sometime late next year I believe. But you may be right, I ran out of fingers.:smile:

Unless I misinterpreted it, the '08 NEC states the '11 won't be out until Sept. 2010.

best part of the code book coming out is my local IAEI does a 2 day seminar called supercode. they talk about all the proposed changes that might or might not show up in the code book. a lot of big names in the electrical industry show up and speak. if im not mistaken i think mike holt was there a couple years ago.

Contact the NFPA right after the ROPs come out and ask for a copy. That'll tell you what was proposed, and what did and didn't make the cut.
