NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023 Softbound with EZ Tabs

This is the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023 in the standard softbound edition, supplied with a set of EZ Tabs made for the 2023 code, for electricians, inspectors, and exam candidates working under the 2023 NEC.

The 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) marked a significant modernization of NFPA 70. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reorganized the document for ease of use, consolidated every defined term into Article 100, and brought in requirements for the technologies electricians now meet daily, from fault-managed power to installations over 1000 volts AC and 1500 volts DC. The softbound edition is the everyday format, and EZ Tabs make it searchable at a glance.

Who it’s for

Journeyman and master electrician candidates in states that test on the 2023 NEC. Electricians, electrical contractors, and solar and EV-charging installers in jurisdictions that enforce the 2023 edition. Plan reviewers and inspectors who need a tabbed copy on the desk. Apprentices learning the code for the first time.

Why this edition

Although the 2026 edition is now current, the 2023 NEC is the enforced code in a large number of jurisdictions and will remain so for several years, so it is the right purchase for anyone whose permits and exams reference it. The 2023 reorganization makes older tab sets useless; the EZ Tabs included here are keyed to the 2023 page layout. For a set that adds Ugly’s, see our 2023 NEC bundles; this listing is the code book and tabs only.

Frequently asked questions

What changed in the 2023 NEC?

The 2023 edition reorganized the code for easier use, moved all definitions into an expanded Article 100, restructured requirements for systems over 1000 volts, and added coverage of newer technologies such as Class 4 fault-managed power circuits.

Are the EZ Tabs applied already?

No. The EZ Tabs ship as a printed sheet with a placement guide so you can apply them yourself in a few minutes. Many exam candidates prefer this because they learn the layout while tabbing.

Is this the softbound or the spiral-bound NEC 2023?

Softbound. It is the standard perfect-bound paperback edition from NFPA, which is lighter and slimmer than the spiral version.
