NEC 2026 new arc flash hazard markings required

[jim dungar]

AHJs:

Are now expected to review arc-flash labels

They are expected to see if a label exists. They are not required to personally verify the values on the label. Just like they are not required to perform load calculations and wire sizing.

NEC 2026 has functionally mandated the use of IEEE 1584, and IEEE 1584 is only realistically accessible through licensed software or specialized consultants.

This point was raised prior to the IEEE 2018 version being released. Have you looked at the old discussions on Arc Flash sites like the arcflashforum on brainfiller.com?

They can ask to see the calcs.

I have not looked for this discussion on your two references…I will now.
I did communicate with JP/brain filler about whether he has generated training in a DVD format as he did with the 2002 version…no, have to sign up for his full class to access.
