Limit exposure. Strengthen compliance. Improve reliability.
Electrical compliance goes beyond meeting code requirements, it requires the right processes, documentation, and expertise to support safe, reliable operations. ERS helps organizations navigate evolving requirements and industry standards with practical, engineering-led compliance support. From NFPA 70B and NFPA 70E to NERC and the National Electrical Code (NEC), our services help you identify gaps, strengthen electrical safety programs, and develop strategies that support long-term compliance and reliability.
What are Compliance Support Services?
Electrical compliance support services help organizations develop, implement, and maintain programs that align with recognized electrical codes, standards, and industry requirements. These services include power system services, preventive maintenance, testing, safety program development, training, documentation, and technical consulting that support safe, reliable, and better-managed electrical systems.
Facilities that proactively evaluate their electrical infrastructure and maintenance practices are better positioned to improve workplace safety, minimize equipment failures, prepare for inspections, and support long-term operational performance.
Standards we support
Every organization faces unique electrical compliance requirements depending on its equipment, operations, industry, and regulatory obligations. Understanding which standards apply to your facility is the first step toward developing a comprehensive compliance strategy. Explore the standards below to learn how ERS supports organizations through testing, maintenance, training, and consulting services aligned with today's evolving electrical requirements.
Why electrical codes, standards & compliance matter
Electrical codes and industry standards establish best practices for the design, installation, operation, maintenance, testing, and inspection of electrical systems, helping organizations improve electrical safety, enhance system reliability, help manage operational[SM3.1] risk, and support regulatory and industry compliance.
Leading electrical standards, including NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, NERC, and OSHA 1910 reliability standards, and the National Electrical Code (NEC), each address a critical aspect of electrical system performance. Together, they help organizations protect employees from electrical hazards, implement effective electrical preventive maintenance programs, maintain critical power infrastructure, and verify electrical installations meet recognized code requirements. Understanding which standards apply to your facility is essential for building a comprehensive electrical compliance strategy.
As electrical systems become more complex and codes and standards continue to evolve, maintaining compliance requires an ongoing commitment to preventive maintenance, electrical testing, worker safety, and documentation. Regularly reviewing electrical safety programs, maintenance practices, arc flash studies, and compliance documentation helps facilities remain aligned with current requirements, minimize unplanned downtime, extend equipment life, and improve long-term electrical reliability and operational performance.
