Are US electrical wiring codes local, state or national? And can you find out about them on-line?
I would like to check out the wiring in my house in the US, and update it if needed. I have put in standard wiring in Italy, but I don't know what the code standards are in the US.
Answer:
for the most part every code follows the national electric code as published by the national fire protection assoction. however there are local and state additions to this code in some places. the easiest way to avoid problems is to talk to a local inspector. contary to common belief they don't like failing someone and usually are all to willing to work with you. another thing to remember is under the NEC it is the inspector that decides what meets the code and his word is final. there is no appeal.
