It is a prior edition, not the newest; the 2023 and 2026 editions have since been issued. The spiral binding is the choice for anyone who needs the book open on a desk or an exam table without holding the pages down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFPA 70, National Electrical Code, 2020 edition, complete text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral-bound (lay-flat) binding, no tabs included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers wiring methods and materials, grounding, overcurrent protection, special occupancies and equipment, and Chapter 9 conductor and conduit tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJourneyman and master electrician candidates whose state board still tests on the 2020 NEC, electricians and contractors permitting work in 2020-cycle jurisdictions, and inspectors who maintain a copy of each adopted edition. Instructors running 2020-based exam prep classes often require the spiral version because it survives heavy tabbing and daily use better than a softbound copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your jurisdiction or exam specifies 2020, buy 2020; the 2023 edition renumbered several sections and reorganized articles, so a newer book is a liability on a timed open-book test. Of our three 2020 NEC listings, this is the spiral-bound book on its own. The softbound with index tabs and the softbound with EZ Tabs are the alternatives if you prefer a flexible cover and want tabs in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the 2020 NEC the latest edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 2023 edition followed it and the 2026 edition is the current one.
