Formal interpretations of the Code may be found in which publication?

• A. National Electrical Code Handbook
• B. OSHA Standards
• C. Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards
• D. Life and Safety Handbook

Answer: (C)

Official interpretations of the Code are published in the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards. This publication lays out how NFPA standards are created and amended and contains the formal interpretations adopted by NFPA’s standards council, providing authoritative guidance on how to apply the code. The NEC Handbook offers commentary and explanatory material but not official interpretations. OSHA Standards are separate federal regulations and do not publish NFPA interpretations. The Life and Safety Handbook isn’t the source for NFPA code interpretations.
