The National Electrical Code publishes the standards for all types of electrical applications. Articles 318, 250, and 800 cover various aspects of cable tray systems. B) NEMA, (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), is an association comprised of the major cable tray manufacturers in the industry. This committee has published three documents to date: NEMA VE1, FG1 and VE2. NEMA VE1 covers general cable tray definitions, manufacturing standards, performance standards, test standards, and application information. NEMA FG1 addresses the standards for fiberglass cable tray systems. NEMA VE2 is a cable tray installation guideline which covers receiving and unloading material, storage of material, and general installation practices.
