Reference Books and Codes

National Electrical Code, 2005 Edition, NFPA.

Please note: we have found an inconsistency in the exam bulletin offered by the International Code Council (revised July 22, 2008). The version of the electrical code book shown in the "Approved Reference" area is 1996. Sample questions shown at the end of the bulletin are from the 2005 version, hence, the reason for listing the 2005 NEC as a reference.
