Again, keep in mind that these proposed changes are just that - proposed. In this article, we will take a look at some of the proposed changes from the 2020 NEC to the 2023 NEC that have generated the most discussion. The NFPA Standards Council is scheduled to issue the 2023 NEC in August 2022 with a proposed publication date of September 2022. Appeals will be heard and voted upon for acceptance of the 2023 NEC at the NFPA Annual Conference in Boston, MA, in June of 2022. The successful PCs that come forth from the Second Draft will result in a Second Revisions (SR) to the Second Draft (SD) of 2020 NEC. Therefore, these proposed changes are based on the information we have from the 2023 NEC First Draft publication.
At the time of the writing of this article, the Second Draft meetings had not taken place. Submitted comments at this meeting are known as Public Comments (PC). This meeting will be held virtually in October of 2021. The second public meeting for the NEC revision process is known as the NEC Second Draft (SD) meeting. The PIs that were acted upon favorably resulted in a First Revision (FR) to the First Draft (FD) of the 2023 NEC. Suggested changes to the NEC, which are known as Public Inputs (PI), were reviewed at this First Draft meeting by the appropriate technical committee. The 2023 NEC process involves an NEC First Draft (FD) meeting, which was held virtually this Code cycle in November/December of 2020 and January of 2021. This revision cycle rolls around every three years, but it seems like the ink is barely dry on the latest edition of the Code, and it’s time to start the revision cycle on the next edition!
