NFPA 70B Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance 2026 Edition
An arc-flash label is only as accurate as the maintenance behind it. NFPA 70B is what keeps that number honest.
NFPA 70B training for maintenance and EHS teams — build and run a documented Electrical Maintenance Program under the current 2026 edition. Delivered on-site or live online.
- Electrical Maintenance Program
- Equipment condition assessment
- Single-line diagrams & system studies
- Fundamental testing methods
- Maintenance scopes & intervals
- Personnel safety & NFPA 70E
2026
Current edition of NFPA 70B, in force since it replaced the 2023 edition
2023
Year NFPA 70B shifted from a recommended practice to a mandatory standard
EMP
Every facility is expected to implement and document an Electrical Maintenance Program
Ch. 9
Sets mandatory maintenance scopes and intervals by equipment type
What We Train
Everything your Electrical Maintenance Program is expected to cover
NFPA 70B stopped being a suggestion in 2023 — it now uses "shall," not "should." We build the session around each mandatory element, using your facility's own equipment and records wherever we can.
Electrical Maintenance Program
Structuring a documented EMP with a named EMP Coordinator, the way the standard now expects it to be owned.
Equipment condition assessment
Grading physical condition, criticality, and operating environment to set intervals instead of guessing on a calendar.
Single-line diagrams & system studies
Keeping short-circuit, coordination, and incident energy studies current whenever the system changes.
Fundamental testing methods
Millivolt drop, thermal imaging, and torque testing — the core measurements behind most maintenance findings.
Maintenance scopes & intervals
Reading Chapter 9's Table 9.2.2 and matching scope and frequency to equipment type and condition.
Personnel safety & NFPA 70E
How maintenance work itself has to follow safe work practices,
Built for the people who keep equipment in a known condition
WHO SITS IN THE ROOM
NFPA 70B training isn't one session for everyone. We scope depth and hands-on content to who's actually running the program day to day.
The people performing IR scans, torque checks, and insulation testing
Hands-on training in the fundamental test methods the standard expects, and how to document findings so they actually feed the maintenance program.
The people who own the EMP on paper
Support building or updating a documented Electrical Maintenance Program, assigning an EMP Coordinator, and aligning it with the 2026 edition.
The people responsible for studies and diagrams staying current
Keeping single-line diagrams, short-circuit studies, and incident energy analyses accurate as equipment ages and the system changes.
Crews that need one EMP executed consistently across sites
The same maintenance framework and training delivered at each facility or live online, so every site runs the program the same way.
From booking to a working EMP in four steps

We check your program against the 2026 edition
A quick gap check against your existing EMP, or a starting framework if you don't have one yet.
Train your team on your equipment
Real condition assessments and test methods run against your actual panels and switchgear, not a generic deck.
Leave with documentation
An updated EMP framework and attendance certificates you can hand an auditor or insurer without scrambling.
