The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Mike Holt Enterprises recently announced their collaboration to publish a book explaining the key changes in the next edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC). 

Subsequent to 2023 NEC Changes book, this upcoming publication is their latest collaboration project which is titled ‘Changes To The National Electrical Code, 2026 edition’. 

The 2026 edition of the ‘Changes to the National Electrical Code’ features colorful illustrations, images, insightful comments, and technical clarifications, along with a general review of the code. 

This book is a valuable guide for workers and professionals in the electrical industry such as electricians, electrical contractors, inspectors and engineers who wish to understand the NEC better. 

Jim Pauley, NFPA President and CEO, said, “This book will absolutely be the best resource for understanding the changes in the revised 2026 edition of the NEC. It’s the only NEC changes book officially recognized by NFPA. We are excited to partner with Mike Holt Enterprises once again to advance NFPA’s safety mission and bring this information to professionals responsible for understanding and applying NEC requirements.“

The NEC is updated every three years to incorporate the latest technologies, research, and lessons. It is the most commonly used code in the United States to safeguard people and property from electrical hazards. The NEC is also used extensively worldwide to help people understand basic electrical safety requirements. 

Mike Holt, President of Mike Holt Enterprises, said, “The NEC remains the essential resource for everyone who works in the electrical industry. We are thrilled to be partnering once again with NFPA to meet today’s electrical safety challenges and to help electrical professionals understand the changes in the 2026 edition. It is an honor to develop products based on the NEC that help individuals understand and apply the code easily to their work. The new edition will include hundreds of detailed graphics and photos, and in-depth analysis on the changes.”

The Changes To The National Electrical Code, 2026 edition book will be released in Fall 2025 and will be available to purchase on the NFPA website and Mike Holt Enterprises website.
