IAEI and the International Code Council collaborate to update 2023 edition of NEC Analysis of Changes publication
The publication will offer expert insight into code revisions regarding electrical and life safety topics

Washington, D.C. – The International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) and the International Code Council are collaborating on the upcoming industry-leading Analysis of Changes – National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023 publication. This essential resource makes key changes to the 2023 version of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC),® easy to quickly identify, understand and apply effectively.  The Analysis of Changes is the premier resource for electrical inspectors, contractors, electricians, manufacturers, and other professionals involved with the safe application, compliance, and enforcement of electrical systems.

“The Code Council is proud to support the publication of the Analysis of Changes, NEC 2023 by IAEI,” said Mark Johnson, Executive Vice President and Director of Business Development at the Code Council. “This book represents the best tool for industry professionals, especially electrical inspectors, transitioning to the latest version of NFPA 70 which will be adopted by reference in the ICC Family of Codes and thereby helps ensure the safety and resiliency of buildings in our communities.”

Analysis of Changes – NEC 2023 reviews and analyzes key changes to code language in the 2023 NFPA 70, NEC, by highlighting and explaining revisions to residential, commercial, and industrial design and installation requirements. Authored by IAEI representatives who sit on all the 18 NEC® code-making panels, this resource helps professionals learn the significant changes on topics such as conductors, grounding, surge protection and outdoor emergency disconnects for dwelling units, and this edition of the code includes ten new articles. The 2023 analysis now concisely answers three critical questions: what the change is, why was it made, and how the change impacts the electrical industry.

The publication features informational code text along with helpful images and diagrams, insights into the code sections, and the reasoning behind code changes to help users grasp critical issues.

“This unique co-branding opportunity allows IAEI to reach an audience beyond its universe of members and into the much broader universe of Code Council members and more,” said IAEI CEO, Rudy Garza. “IAEI is the originator of the NEC code change book and has been producing the Analysis of Changes since 1978.  It is the premier and most respected NEC changes publication in the world.”

Through the ongoing collaboration between IAEI and the Code Council, advanced orders will soon be accepted for this latest volume in the Analysis of Changes series and go-to resource for the industry. It will be available later this summer in both print and digital formats on both the Code Council’s and IAEI’s respective online stores.
