WHAT IS THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR AND WORKER PROGRAM?
NETA launched the new Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Contractor and Worker Program on February 25, 2024.
Through the establishment of its new Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Contractor and Worker Program, NETA has taken a leadership position in support of the NFPA 70B maintenance requirements.
This new qualification program is in response to the recently ANSI-approved NFPA 70B Standard, making proper electrical equipment maintenance mandatory and enforceable. The new program is intended to meet the anticipated demand for vetted, qualified electrical equipment maintenance contractors and workers. The vetting process includes a contractor company review and the testing of the contractor’s electrical maintenance workers.
NETA will award all vetted, qualified contractor companies with the designation – Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Contractor (QEMC).
NETA will award vetted, contractor-employed electrical maintenance workers havoing passed an exam with the designation – Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Worker (QEMW).
