Which of the following is NOT part of NFPA-70E's scope?

• A. Arc/flash and shock protection.
• B. PPE requirements.
• C. Conductor and equipment safeguards within a building.
• D. Fire code compliance for building HVAC.

Answer: (D)

NFPA 70E is about electrical safety in the workplace. It focuses on reducing exposure to electrical hazards like arc flash and electrical shock, and it establishes requirements for PPE and safe work practices, including safeguarding conductors and electrical equipment within a building. The fire code compliance for building HVAC, however, deals with fire protection, life safety, and fire-code enforcement, which are addressed by fire codes and other NFPA standards separate from 70E. So the aspect related to fire code compliance for building HVAC sits outside 70E’s scope, while arc flash/shock protection, PPE requirements, and safeguarding electrical equipment are right in line with its purpose.
