They define a minimum baseline 65 of quality and workmanship for installing electrical products and systems. NEISTM are intended to be 66 referenced in contract documents for electrical construction projects. 67 68 Use of NEIS is voluntary, and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) assumes no 69 obligation or liability to users of this publication. Existence of a standard shall not preclude any member 70 or non-member of NECA from specifying or using alternate construction methods permitted by 71 applicable regulations. 72 73 This publication is intended to comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) . Because they are quality 74 Standards, NEIS may in some instances go beyond the minimum safety requirements of the NEC. It is 75 the responsibility of users of this publication to comply with State and local electrical Codes and Federal 76 and State OSHA safety regulations as well as follow manufacturer installation instructions when 77 installing electrical products and systems. 78 79 Suggestions for revisions and improvements to this standard are welcome.
