NFPA 70B Compliance Software
Simplify Your NFPA 70B Maintenance Program
NFPA 70B compliance starts with knowing your electrical equipment and understanding exactly what maintenance it needs. e-Hazard has partnered with Egalvanic to make that process simple, organized, and easy to manage.
Schedule a ConsultationOUR APPROACH TO COMPLIANCE
One System. Complete Compliance Support.
The Egalvanic platform gives you a complete digital record of every electrical asset in your facility, its condition, maintenance history, and what's due next.
Field teams can capture inspection data, photos, and test results in real time, right from a mobile app, even offline. Instead of scattered spreadsheets and paper reports, you get one live system that shows exactly where you stand on compliance and what needs attention.
And if you already have data from past studies or audits, Egalvanic can put it to work instead of making you start over, including importing and exporting directly with SKM PowerTools, so your existing arc flash and coordination studies carry over without re-entering data.
e-Hazard brings the expertise behind the software, helping you inventory your electrical equipment, build a practical maintenance plan, and get your facility fully compliant with NFPA 70B.
AUTOMATED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING
Never Miss a Maintenance Task Again
Once your equipment is in the system, every asset type receives a maintenance profile. The software shows what is due and when—without relying on memory or spreadsheets.
| Equipment Type | Sample Tasks Tracked |
| Switchgear, switchboards, panelboards | Visual/mechanical inspection, infrared thermography under load, insulation resistance and contact resistance testing, torque verification |
| Circuit breakers | Mechanical operation checks, contact resistance testing, trip unit testing/calibration, timing tests on larger units |
| Protective relays | Functional testing against settings, calibration checks, coordination study review |
| Transformers | Insulation resistance/power factor testing, oil sampling and DGA, infrared scanning, bushing and tap changer inspection |
Intervals are set by condition and manufacturer specs, in line with NFPA 70B, so nothing gets tested more or less often than it should be.

THE STANDARD
What Is NFPA 70B?
NFPA 70B is the National Fire Protection Association's Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance. It covers how electrical, electronic, and communication systems should be inspected, tested, and maintained to prevent failures and protect the people working around them.
Until 2023, 70B was a recommended practice—a “should.” The 2023 edition reclassified it as an enforceable standard—a “shall.” That change is why interest in 70B has increased sharply: it is no longer optional guidance; it is a documented obligation.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Choose a 70B-Compliant Maintenance Program?
NFPA 70B sets the benchmark for electrical equipment maintenance, helping organizations reduce risk, prevent costly downtime, and protect personnel and assets.
Adopting a 70B-compliant program demonstrates a commitment to operational excellence and proactive risk management — and it has real business stakes:
✓ Reduce electrical safety risks and improve reliability
✓ Achieve and maintain NFPA 70B compliance
✓ Simplify regulatory audits and reporting
✓ Protect your people, property, and bottom line
HOW THE STANDARDS WORK TOGETHER
NFPA 70, 70E, and 70B—What’s the Difference?
A facility can be perfectly installed to NEC standards and fully trained on 70E safety, yet still face catastrophic failures without NFPA 70B. Together, these three standards create a complete safety net—moving your facility from initial installation to safe, ongoing operation.
Here is how each standard breaks down:
- NFPA 70 (NEC) — governs how electrical systems are installed
- NFPA 70E — governs how workers stay safe while working on or near electrical equipment
- NFPA 70B — governs how that equipment is maintained over its lifetime
Without a formal NFPA 70B program, even the most well-designed and safety-conscious facility leaves its infrastructure exposed to avoidable risks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
NFPA 70B FAQ
Is NFPA 70B mandatory?
As of the 2023 edition, NFPA 70B is a standard rather than a recommended practice. Whether it’s directly enforceable depends on what your local jurisdiction has adopted, but OSHA’s General Duty Clause and insurance requirements mean most facilities need to comply regardless.
How often does NFPA 70B require inspections?
Intervals are based on the condition of each piece of equipment rather than a single fixed schedule.
What’s the difference between NFPA 70, 70E, and 70B?
70 (the NEC) covers installation, 70E covers worker safety, and 70B covers ongoing maintenance.
Do I need to manage this myself, or can it be outsourced?
e-Hazard and Egalvanic handle it as a turnkey program — asset inventory, program design, implementation, and ongoing documentation — so your team isn’t building this from scratch.
Who’s qualified to perform 70B maintenance?
The standard expects maintenance to be performed by personnel trained on the relevant procedures, testing methods, and safety practices.
