NOTE: about reference #3b. We are giving you a better alternative to the federal version of the OSHA code. You can even buy a three-ring loose leaf (lay flat) version that is far more easier to use. Even though this is a substitution for 3a, it may be allowed as an OPEN BOOK reference. We recommend that you focus your efforts on "Subpart K - Electrical" (1926.400-449) of the OSHA code.
Additional Recommended Books
The books listed below are NOT allowed at the exam location
1a.
Ferm's Fast Finder Index, 2020, IAEI
1b.
Tom Henry's Key Word Index, 2020, Tom Henry
We highly recommend that you purchase one of the reference books above to study for your exam. Each book is a comprehensive subject index to the NEC. They provide an even faster way to look up answers in the code and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
