13、 1 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Electrical and alarm contractor licensing, construction permitting, and job-site inspection is a fundamental regulatory activity in nearly every state and in most U.S. cities. Policies and rules associated with these activities can vary widely fr
14、om state to state and even in counties or municipalities. However, the importance of effective licensing, permitting, and inspection practices is common to all in society and cannot be understated. The protection of life and property in the built environment relies heavily on these activities. Ineff
15、ective or improper regulation of construction can have devastating consequences. This white paper will explore each of these regulatory activities and describe how each process has an impact on NEMA member companies. Licensing Electrical and alarm contractor licensing is an activity typically regula
16、ted by the state. Many states also have local licensing requirements, which are enforced by the county or incorporated municipality. The licensing process usually consists of an initial application, which is reviewed by a licensing board, followed by an examination, and concludes with license issuan
17、ce. Most states also have continuing education requirements in order to maintain active licenses. The typical license application will identify the applicants qualifications to practice, such as previous experience, work history, education, and related training. Applications are reviewed by a board
18、or committee made up of individuals with diverse backgrounds and professional interests. In most states, the board is an assembly of volunteers; in others, the board is composed of appointed or elected officials. In addition to processing license applications, many contractor licensing boards also r
19、eview contractor complaint cases and administer disciplinary action to contractors found guilty of misconduct. The licensing exam is commonly administered through a third-party provider. The typical licensing exam includes questions from installation standards, such as the National Electrical Code (
20、NEC), other NFPA standards, and from the states statutes and laws. Most states charge a nominal license application fee, which might or might not cover the cost of taking the certification exam. The type of license and scope of work granted under the license also varies from state to state. This can
21、 include journeyman-level licensing, occupancy-specific licensing (residential commercial, industrial), or work-type licensing (e.g., limited-energy/low-voltage, lighting only, sign specialty, alarm systems). Some states allow an unlimited number of employees to work under a license holder, while ot
22、hers mandate licensing for every employee that will be performing technical duties. Electrical and alarm contractor licensing limits the amount of electrical and alarm work that can be performed by unqualified individuals. Unlicensed and unqualified individuals are more likely to install electrical
23、and alarm products in violation of their listing, instructions, or the requirements of the NEC and other NFPA standards. These individuals also avoid pulling permits or obtaining inspections prior to energizing electrical equipment or placing electrical systems into operation. Unlicensed individuals
24、 are not likely to have the required insurance coverage in the event of an accident or injury. In short, the potential for risks and hazards associated with work performed by unlicensed individuals is great. The activities of unlicensed and unqualified individuals damage the reputations of the elect
