2011 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE® STYLE MANUAL 1 FOREWORD April 1999 The National Electrical Code is used nationally and internationally as the basis for safeguarding persons, buildings, and their contents from hazards arising from the use of electricity. It is vitally important that the text be as explicit as possible and that maximum consistency be achieved in the language used in the text. The Code contains those provisions considered necessary for safety and thus is widely used as a basis for legal enforcement in the installation of electrical conductors and equipment in buildings and certain other premises (as detailed in the Code itself); this places a major responsibility on those involved in the preparation of the document to use forms of expression that promote uniform interpretation. The Technical Correlating Committee of the National Electrical Code Committee has recognized these responsibilities and has issued this manual. Preparation and Date of Adoption. This manual was originally prepared by the Editorial Task Group of the National Electrical Code Committee and adopted by the National Electrical Code Technical Correlating Committee on May 13, 1969. It was amended September 22, 1975, October 11, 1984, October 12, 1989, and May 9, 1994. In January 1999, the Technical Correlating Committee Task Group on the Usability of the NEC rewrote the manual. It was adopted by the Technical Correlating Committee on March 19, 1999 and by the Standards Council on April 15, 1999. It was amended March 1, 2001, January 15, 2003, and August 9, 2011 Valuable guidance in the preparation of this manual was provided by several members of the Technical Correlating Committee. 2 TABLE OF CONTENT
