NFPA 70E Technical Committee Chair
Item 13-10-2 Approval of the February 2013 ROC Meeting Minutes
It was moved, seconded, and voted unanimously affirmative that the minutes of the July 2013 Meeting of the
NEC Correlating Committee be approved.
Item 13-10-3 Review 70E Second Revisions
The Correlating Committee reviewed the report provided by Tom Adams, Chair of the NFPA70E Review Task
Group. The NFPA70E Technical Committee created sixty-six Second Revisions all of which passed ballot.
The Correlating Committee discussed several of the voting comments submitted by the 70E members and
determined that no Correlating Second Revisions were in order.
The 70E Technical Committee will be requested to appoint a task group to review Second Revision 37 and
determine if a TIA should be processed to eliminate the conflict identified by the negative ballot comments.
[Attachment]
The Correlating Committee recommends that the Usability Task Group review the balloting comments relative
to revision dates of referenced standards on 70E SR 65 and 70E SR 57. The task group shall determine if
changes should be proposed to the NEC Style Manual or the NFPA Manual of Style to address revision dates of
referenced standards. [Attachment]
The Correlating Committee reviewed the 70E Second Draft Meeting Minutes and the proposed task groups.
David Dini, Chair of the 70E Technical Committee, requested that the Correlating Committee appoint a task
group to address third party certification of PPE in accordance with Tables 130.7(C)(14) and 130.7(F), which
specify standards for protective equipment and other equipment. The Correlating Committee agreed to appoint
an independent task group to evaluate the need for certification and how the requirement for certification could
be addressed in NFPA 70E. [Attachment]
Item 13-10-4 Review 79 Second Revisions
The Correlating Committee reviewed the report provided by Bill Drake, Chair of the NFPA79 Review Task
Group. The NFPA 79 Technical Committee created fifty-one Second Revisions, all of which passed ballot.
The Correlating Committee discussed several of the voting comments submitted by the 79 members and
determined that one Correlating Revisions was in order.
Item 13-10-5 General Business
 2017 Revision Schedule
Discussion was held regarding possible changes to the NEC Comment Closing date and Second Draft
meeting dates. Although a final decision has not been made, NFPA is looking at moving the Comment
Closing date to September 2015 and the Second Draft meetings to the first two weeks of November
2015.
 Correlating Committee Task Groups
Mike Johnston thanked the Correlating Committee Task Group Chairs who have populated their task
groups and reminded the others to do so at their earliest convenience.
Mark Ode proposed that an Inter-committee Coordination Task Group be appointed to work with the
NFPA 90A Technical Committee. It was noted that the Standards Council Decision #13-11 directs the
NEC Correlating Committee to establish a task group to “promote correlation and consistency across
NFPA 90A and the NEC. This task group is charged with determining if there are any correlation issues
regarding wiring within air-handling spaces in the NEC and NFPA 90A, and, if so, recommending ways
to address them (including the development of Public Inputs or, if appropriate, Tentative Interim
Amendments.)” [Attachment]
It was noted there are inconsistencies in how the terms emergency systems, essential electrical systems,
and life safety branch are used in Article 517 of the NEC and NFPA 99. It was suggested that the NEC
Correlating Committee advise the Standards Council of the deviations and recommend an intercommittee coordination task group be appointed to review how the terms are used and develop Public
Inputs for the next editions of each document.
 Supplemental Operating Procedures
Bill Drake advised that revisions to the Supplemental Operating Procedures have not yet begun and a
complete rewrite may be required to address the New Regulations Governing the Development of
Standards.
 Article 725 and Article 760 Panel Assignments
The Correlating Committee reviewed the requests to reassign the responsibility for Articles 725 and
Article 760 back to Code-Making Panel 16. The Correlating Committee determined that the Articles
will remain assigned to Code-Making Panel 3.
 Future Meetings
It was noted that a NFPA 73 A15 First Draft Correlating Committee meeting must be held no later than
Jan 10, 2014. The Correlating Committee will be polled on availability for a teleconference/webmeeting after the completion of the Technical Committee balloting.
Mark Earley has requested that a November 5-7, 2014 Correlating Committee Meeting and Chair
Training be scheduled to take place at NFPA.
The NEC Public Input Closing Date is October 3, 2014 for paper submissions and November 7, 2014 for
on-line submissions. The First Draft meetings have been scheduled for January 12-24, 2015 in Hilton
Head, SC. The individual panel meeting dates have not been determined yet.
Item 13-10-7 Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 12:25 pm.

Second Revision No. 37-NFPA 70E-2013 [ Section No. 130.7(C)(10) ]
(10) Arc Flash Protective Equipment.
(a) Arc Flash Suits. Arc flash suit design shall permit easy and rapid removal by the
wearer. The entire arc flash suit, including the hood’s face shield, shall have an arc
rating that is suitable for the arc flash exposure. When exterior air is supplied into the
hood, the air hoses and pump housing shall be either covered by arc-rated materials or
constructed of nonmelting and nonflammable materials.
(b)
Head Protection.
(1)
An arc-rated balaclava shall be used with an arc-rated face shield when the back
of the head is within the arc flash boundary and the anticipated incident energy
exposure is greater than 4 cal/cm 2 . An arc-rated hood shall be permitted to be
used instead of an arc-rated face shield and balaclava.
(2)
An arc-rated hood shall be used when the anticipated incident energy exposure
exceeds 12 cal/cm2.
(c) Face Protection. Face shields shall have an arc rating suitable for the arc flash
exposure. Face shields with a wrap-around guarding to protect the face, chin, forehead,
ears, and neck area shall be used. Face shields without an arc rating shall not be used.
Eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) shall always be worn under face shields or
hoods.
Informational Note: Face shields made with energy-absorbing formulations that
can provide higher levels of protection from the radiant energy of an arc flash are
available, but these shields are tinted and can reduce visual acuity and color
perception. Additional illumination of the task area might be necessary when
these types of arc-protective face shields are used.
(d) Hand Protection.
(1) Heavy-duty leather gloves or arc-rated gloves shall be worn where required for arc
flash protection.
Informational Note: Heavy-duty leather gloves are made entirely of leather
with minimum thickness of 0.03 in. (0.7 mm), and are unlined or lined with
nonflammable, nonmelting fabrics. Heavy-duty leather gloves meeting this
requirement have been shown to have ATPV values in excess of 10
cal/cm2.
(2) Where insulating rubber gloves are used for shock protection, leather protectors
shall be worn over the rubber gloves.
Informational Note: The leather protectors worn over rubber insulating gloves
provide additional arc flash protection for the hands for arc flash protection
exposure.
(e) Foot Protection. Heavy-duty leather footwear provide some arc flash protection to the
feet and shall be used in all exposures greater than 4 cal/cm2.

We disagree that "this change clarifies that a balaclava is only required to be worn when the
exposure is greater than 4 cal/cm2." This is not a clarification. This creates an unsubstantiated
change and a conflict within Article 130. Section 130.7(C)(6) requires all parts of the body to be be
protected by arc-rated FR. The entire head is part of the body. In addition, the substantiation for the
the public comment, which is the basis for this second revision, incorrectly correlates HRC 1 with an
incident energy calculation of 4 calories.
West, Rodney J.
We believe the clarification may conflict with the requirements in Sections 130.7(C)(1) and 130.7(C)
(6).

ASTM standards revision information in Annex A is not consistent with information approved by the
TC at the second draft meeting. ASTM standards list the revision information in the number of the
document, not separately. For example, ASTM F1506-10a is the correct representation of this

ASTM standards revision information in Annex B is not consistent with information approved by the
TC at the second draft meeting. ASTM standards list the revision information in the number of the
document, not separately. For example, ASTM F1506-10a is the correct representation of this
standard, not (R2010a) listed after the document title.

NFPA 70E TC on Electrical Safety in the Workplace
Second Draft Meeting Minutes
Signature
July 16, 2013
1)
Date(s) and location of meeting: June 24 - 27, 2013, Savannah, GA.
2)
List names of guests in attendance: See attached Appendix A.
3)
List names of guests addressing the Panel/TC, the subject of their
address, and the length of time they spoke:
Jim Coyne, Coyne First Aid, spoke for 5 minutes on Sec. 110.2(C) and the need
for annual CPR and similar emergency training. Dr. Lloyd Gordon, Los Alamos National
Laboratory, spoke for 5 minutes on electropathology considerations for the DC shock
hazard, including threshold values.
4)
Number of Public Comments acted upon: About 230
5)
Number of Second Revisions created: 61
6)
List any Task Groups appointed to work subsequent to the Second Draft
Meeting, along with the names of members of the Task Group(s):
None were appointed, but there was some discussion under New Business
regarding the possible need for some special task groups to work between now and the
next revision cycle. The topics for these special task groups included the following:
1. Certification of PPE. This involves Tables 130.7(C)(14) and 130.7(F)
which describe standards for protective equipment and other equipment.
This task group would study the need for certification to the referenced
standards, and how certification requirements could be addressed in the
70E document.
2. Chapter 3, Articles 330, 340 and 350. This task group would look at
Chapter 3 articles related to lasers, power electronic equipment, and
research and development laboratories. The goal would be to organize
and update these articles relative to best practices and current
information.
3. Annex F – This involves Annex F material related to hazard analysis and
risk estimations. This task group would study the need for this annex, and
if needed, what changes or additions to this information might be needed
to make it more usable and applicable to the 70E document.
4. Annex K – The Committee believes that Annex K, General Categories of
Electrical Hazards, may not be accurate or indicative of the current
research and science of the arc flash hazard. This task group would study
Annex K, including a very comprehensive Public Comment (PC-185) from
Dr. Tammy Gammon that was rejected but held for the next cycle
regarding Annex K material.
7) List any request contained in a Responses or Statement that require NEC
Correlating Committee attention: none
8) List any Public Comments or Second Revisions, in your opinion that needs to
be referred to another TC for information or correlation: none
9) List any Public Comments or Second Revisions that should be referred to the
Toxicity Advisory Committee: none
10) List all Public Comments or Second Revisions related to combustibles in
plenums or other air handling spaces: none
11) Identify any issues that should be brought to the attention of the NFPA
Research Foundation for their input and assistance: none
12) List any general requests for information or assistance from the NEC
Correlating Committee: none
