• New article on Critical Operations Power Systems with provisions for electrical security in public and private facilities that must stay online during a crisis, such as public safety dispatch centers and hospital ICUs.
• New article on Electrified Truck Parking Spaces with NEC rules for outlets to run on-board electrical systems, reducing truck emissions and fuel consumption caused by idling during driver rest times.
• New provisions in Article 210, Article 410, and elsewhere in the Code reduce worker hazards and correlate with NFPA 70E ® worker safety rules.
• Plus hundreds of other revisions

This revised edition also improves consistency in grounding and bonding terminology, and features new shading behind revised text that lets you see what's new at a glance. Additionally, new identifiers are included at the top of each page in the NEC index for speedier referencing.
