Product Description
NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023 in spiral-bound format is the lay-flat edition of the 2023 NEC from the National Fire Protection Association, for electricians, inspectors, and exam candidates working under the 2023 cycle.
The 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) is the cycle most US states currently enforce or are in the process of adopting. It carried forward the work on energy storage, solar, and electric vehicle charging, and reorganized several articles on power and communications. The spiral binding lets the book open flat on a desk or tailgate, which is why it is the binding most exam prep instructors recommend.

Who it's for
Journeyman and master electrician candidates in states that test on the 2023 NEC, which at present is the majority. Electricians and contractors in jurisdictions enforcing the 2023 cycle, AHJ inspectors, and electrical engineers reviewing drawings against the adopted code. Apprenticeship programs mid-way through a 2023 curriculum will want students on this edition rather than 2026.
Why this edition
The 2026 NEC has been published, but adoption takes time and many licensing boards will test on 2023 for a while yet. If your exam bulletin or your building department says 2023, this is the book, and the spiral binding is the practical choice for an open-book exam: it stays open to the table you are using and handles tabs and highlighting well. We stock the 2023 spiral alone here; the 2023 spiral paired with Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 is a separate listing.
Frequently asked questions
Which states use the 2023 NEC?
Adoption is set state by state and sometimes city by city. Many states adopted 2023 in 2023 and 2024; check your licensing board or local building department for the enforced edition.
Should I buy the 2023 or the 2026 NEC for my exam?
Buy the edition your exam bulletin names. If it says 2023, the 2026 book will have different page numbers and some renumbered sections.
Is the spiral-bound edition allowed in exams?
Yes. State boards accept the NFPA spiral-bound printing; it is the same official text as the softbound.
