NFPA LiNK Digital Reference Tool Launches with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code

New platform delivers vital code information on demand

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) launched NFPA LiNK™, a new digital platform, with the four most recent editions of NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®). NFPA LiNK provides up-to-date code information and situational context that professionals and practitioners need to better understand problems and develop solutions in real time while on the job. NFPA LiNK is designed for those responsible for building, electrical, and life safety, and can be accessed via mobile devices, tablets, laptops, or other preferred device.

The NEC is the most widely used code in the United States and used around the globe.

Electrical professionals and practitioners have turned to NFPA codes and standards to perform their work more efficiently and effectively for more than a century. Over time, however, the ways they have approached their jobs have shifted; work now demands employees have the most current, relevant information and resources available at their fingertips to help solve problems quickly and at any given location. To help address these growing needs, NFPA LiNK will become a “living library” for users that offers: The ability to work alongside the NEC by adding personal notes, assigning colors, and saving to custom collections for quick and easy reference; A broader understanding of code requirements through access to expert commentary, visual aids, and helpful resources; Collaboration features to share code sections, work across teams, and ensure everyone knows what is required.

“Electrical professionals tell us they not only want important code information, but they also need context and insights to help them better understand problems and develop solutions in real time,” said Jim Pauley, NFPA president and CEO. “NFPA LiNK is a revolutionary platform that will allow them to collaborate and stay connected easily while in the field. This means more lives are saved and more property protected from electrical hazards.”

NFPA LiNK subscribers will get access to continuous updates, features and functions, and new editions of NFPA codes and standards as they are released. NFPA will expand the collection of codes and standards within the application to include the more than 300 that NFPA offers.

More information about the platform, a timeline of additional codes and standards that will be coming to NFPA LiNK, and a product introduction video can be found at nfpa.org/LiNK.
