NFPA 70 is the standard for which topic?

• A. Electrical code
• B. Fire suppression systems
• C. Building construction
• D. Hazardous materials

Answer: (A)

NFPA 70 focuses on electrical safety and the proper installation of electrical systems. It is the electrical code that governs how wiring, conductors, grounding, overcurrent protection, and electrical equipment must be installed and maintained to prevent electrical hazards. That’s why the standard is identified as the electrical code—the rules are all about electrical design, installation, and safety practices.

Other topics like fire suppression systems, building construction, or hazardous materials are covered by different NFPA standards. For example, fire suppression has its own codes about sprinklers and related systems, building construction is addressed by standards focused on structural safety, and hazardous materials are covered by standards dealing with handling and storage.
