NFPA 70B Compliance Audit

Know where you stand with our NFPA 70B compliance audit

NFPA 70B now defines what a compliant electrical maintenance program looks like — and most facilities aren't close. A Lume Safety NFPA 70B audit shows you exactly where your program falls short, which gaps carry real risk and what to fix first.

The rules changed

NFPA 70B is no longer a recommendation. It's a requirement.

In 2023, NFPA 70B shifted from "should" to "shall" making documented electrical maintenance programs (EMP) a legal obligation. This includes required testing and servicing by equipment type, annual infrared inspections, and the documentation to prove it's been done.

NFPA 70B and NFPA 70E are directly connected. A compliant maintenance program supports:

Current and accurate arc flash assessments
Documented worker safety practices under NFPA 70E
Annual inspections required under 70B
Testing, servicing and condition tracking for every piece of electrical equipment
Documentation that holds up when it matters
