Good Workmanship in Electrical Contracting
Thursday, November 12, 2020 | NOON CST
NECA Executive Director of Standards and Safety Mike Johnston, and NECA Director of Codes and Standards, Aga Golriz, are working with The Construction Specifier to deliver this webinar.
The objectives of this program are to provide a brief history of the origin and inspiration of the NEIS. The presentation will explain how NEIS are intended to be used in the electrical industry, and provide a concise look at ANSI accreditation and the required processes for an accredited standards developer. An important objective of this program is to help attendees understand what constitutes “Good Workmanship in Electrical Construction,” which is the title of NECA’s flagship NEIS publication.
