NFPA 70B - Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance & Compliance Services with Invizions, Inc.
What Is NFPA 70B?
NFPA 70B is the National Fire Protection Association’s standard for electrical equipment maintenance. It provides guidelines to prevent equipment failure, improve safety, and reduce downtime through proactive maintenance practices.
Why Is It Important Now?
The 2023 update to NFPA 70B transformed it from a "recommended practice" to a "mandatory standard." This shift means compliance is no longer optional—organizations must follow its requirements to avoid penalties and maintain operational safety.

Who Needs to Comply?
Industries ranging from manufacturing and healthcare to commercial real estate and public services are affected. If your business operates electrical, electronic, or communication systems, NFPA 70B applies to you.
Avoiding the Risks of Falling Behind
Delayed or Missed Maintenance
Falling behind on routine maintenance tasks can lead to equipment failures and safety risks. NFPA 70B requires consistent scheduling to prevent these issues.
Lack of Training
Employees who aren’t properly trained may not fully understand compliance requirements or how to execute them effectively. This can create gaps in safety and reliability.
Poor Record-Keeping
Without accurate documentation of maintenance activities, it’s difficult to prove compliance or plan future maintenance effectively. Detailed record-keeping is essential for audits and proactive planning.
