Question:
Greetings Code Question of the Day,
I really enjoy this NEC question forum. My question is about the NEC Handbook. Someone said that the NEC Handbook is not the Code, and that it is only an opinion of what the Code means. Is this correct?

Answer:
Hi Marty,
The NEC Handbook contains the Code and many narratives that describe what the meaning of the Code requirements are. The Handbook does contain the actual text of the Code and the narratives which are clearly distinguished from on another in the document. The NEC Handbook is a valuable resource to help users understand the meaning behind many requirements.
Hope this is helpful.
