What is the relationship between the UL Standards for Wire and Cable and the National Electrical Code?
The large majority of UL’s wire and cable Standards are intended to be compatible with the installation requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Some exceptions are Boat Cable, Marine Shipboard Cable, and Appliance Wiring Material. UL staff devotes significant resources to the development of the NEC, which is published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
