Data record `gloss.absence-of-voltage-test.nfpa70e.step-7`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Step seven of clause 120.6 of NFPA 70E-2027 requires the test with a portable instrument rated for the application on each phase conductor or circuit part at each point of work, phase to phase and phase to ground, the instrument verified on a known voltage source before and after; its exceptions allow a permanently mounted absence-of-voltage tester that meets four listed conditions and a noncontact capacitive instrument on systems above the voltage the exception states, and require additional test methods where the voltage test alone does not confirm de-energization.
