Data record std.nfpa-70e.structure.120-5-b-6-testing

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Clause 120.5(B)(6) of NFPA 70E-2027 requires the procedure to establish the test instrument, the protective equipment, the person who verifies the instrument on a known voltage source before and after use, and the boundary of the electrically safe work condition; every exposed conductor or part inside that boundary is tested before it is touched, retested when circuit conditions change or the job location has been left unattended, and additional test methods are used where the absence-of-voltage test alone does not confirm de-energization.
