Mandatory Thermal Inspections of Commercial Electrical Equipment in Northwest Arkansas

NFPA 70B Compliant Electrical Thermal Imaging

Services in Northwest Arkansas

Fayetteville, Rogers, Springdale & Bentonville

Important Update: As of 2023 the National Fire Prevention Association Standard NFPA 70B for yearly thermal imaging inspections for electrical panels and equipment have changed from "recommended" to mandatory for commercial facilities with over two hundred amperes of service. Ensure that your Northwest Arkansas business now meets federal OSHA compliance requirements.

This has also been widely adopted by the commercial insurance industry that will either increase policy costs for non-compliance or in some cases even discount exiting policies due to the fact that these types of maintenance inspections statistically reduce risk for both employees & buildings alike.
