From Harford County government:
The Harford County Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits (DILP) has adopted the 2014 National Electric Code with local amendments. The changes were detailed in Harford County Council Bill 14-5 as Amended.
It was approved by the County Council in April. The law takes effect June 10, 2014. It will be the code used for all electrical installations in Harford County made on or after this date.
Periodically DILP seeks approval from the County Council to update the Electrical Code with the latest nationally recognized standards. All registered Master Electricians will receive a letter from the county regarding the code amendments.
A copy of the amendments can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.harfordcountymd.gov/council/.
For more information, please contact Milford Badders, Chief Electrical Inspector with the Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits at 410-638-3363.
Ummmm, what code(s) has Harford County been using prior to this? And with the National Electrical Code needing “local amendment’s”, now that’s a “hoot and nanny.” Right back to square one. Good money spent to come up with this. Next, water and sewer National Codes with “local amendment’s.”
F.L., why comment on something that you know nothing about?
Harford has been using the 2008 NEC with local amendments.
Every municipality has local amendments.
Harford’s include things such as “aluminum conductors of 6 AWG and smaller are not permitted,” requirements for light units in suspended ceilings be supported by the framing of the building (so if the suspended ceiling frame falls, it won’t send a heavy light unit crashing down onto the occupants or firefighters), etc, making Harford’s local rules more strict than the NEC.
Kharn, this is your best post to date!
