Who enforces the codes set by nec?

The codes set by the National Electrical Code (NEC) are enforced primarily by local and state building officials, including inspectors who ensure compliance during construction and renovation projects. These officials have the authority to review plans, conduct inspections, and issue permits. Additionally, electrical contractors and electricians are responsible for adhering to the NEC in their work, and violations can lead to penalties or rework requirements. Ultimately, enforcement can vary based on local regulations and jurisdictions.
