The RV Industry Association reports that the National Fire Protection Association is asking the public for help in updating the National Electric Code, which affects the electrical systems that are put in traditional RVs, park model RVs and in RV parks and campgrounds. The organization talks about this comment submission period and what happens after the deadline arrives in September.
Like many National Fire Protection Association codes, the National Fire Protection Association 70, known as the National Electric Code, undergoes a three-year long revision cycle for the publication of each new edition of the code. Because specific articles of the National Electric Code address electrical systems for traditional RVs, park model RVs and RV parks and campgrounds, the RV industry is heavily involved in this standard review process.
The process begins with the Public Input Stage where recommendations from the RV industry, the public and other stakeholders are accepted for consideration in the development of the first draft of code updates. These recommendations are currently being accepted until Sept. 7.
