2011 NEC

[allseason]

I had an inspection yesterday and the buyer had had an electricain in the house prior to do his own inspection. He supplied the buyer with a report and an proposal. The proposal, dated 3/2/2011 says that the work performed will meet the guidlines of the 2008 NEC. Not right yes? Should be the 2011 NEC.

We're using the 2008 NEC, adopted April 6, 2009.

Here's a list of all of the current codes used in NJ.

Pardon the pendantry, Chris, but to explain further, the NEC doesn't have any powers of implementation or enforcement. When a new version of the code becomes available, states have to decide whether or not they want to "adopt" the code and make it part of their laws.

That can take time, unsurprisingly, so the 2011 NEC probably won't become gospel in many states till later this year or next.

I get it.
