Product Description
NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), 2017 Edition, is the softbound code book from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) that was adopted widely across the United States from 2017 and remains the enforced code in some jurisdictions and the reference for some licensing exams.
The 2017 cycle focused on the growth of renewable and distributed power. Articles on photovoltaic systems, energy storage, and large-scale PV were reorganized or added, and the edition tightened alignment with NFPA 70E on safe work practices. Other revisions addressed arc-fault and ground-fault protection, receptacle requirements, and equipment installation. If a permit, contract, or exam names the 2017 NEC, this is the exact edition it means.

Who it's for
Electricians and contractors in jurisdictions that still enforce the 2017 edition, license candidates whose state exam is written to the 2017 NEC, inspectors and plan reviewers who need to check work permitted under 2017 rules, and instructors or engineers who keep each cycle on the shelf to trace how a requirement changed.
Why this edition
The NEC is enforced edition by edition. A jurisdiction that adopted 2017 and has not moved on will cite 2017 section numbers on correction notices, and an exam written to 2017 will expect you to find answers in the 2017 book. For current new-adoption work, NFPA 70 2026 is the latest edition and the 2023 edition is also widely in force; this 2017 copy is for people who specifically need 2017.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 2017 NEC still in use?
Yes, in some states and municipalities, and on some licensing exams. It is not the current edition; NFPA has since issued the 2020, 2023, and 2026 editions.
How do I know which NEC edition my state uses?
Check your state electrical licensing board or local building department. Adoption dates vary by state and sometimes by city or county.
Does this book include the Ugly’s reference or tabs?
No. This is the standalone 2017 NEC softbound book.
