Article 517 Health Care Facilities

National Electrical Code 2020 of Texas > 5 Special Occupancies > 517 Health Care Facilities
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

517.1 Scope

This article applies to electrical construction and installation criteria in health care facilities that provide services to human beings.

The requirements in Parts II and III not only apply to single-function buildings but are also intended to be individually applied to their respective forms of occupancy within a multifunction building (e.g., a doctor's examining room located within a limited care facility would be required to meet 517.10).

Informational Note No. 1 : For information concerning performance, maintenance, and testing criteria, refer to the appropriate health care facilities documents.

Informational Note No. 2: Text that is followed by a reference in brackets has been extracted from NFPA 99-2018, Health Care Facilities Code, and NFPA 101-2018, Life Safety Code. Only editorial changes were made to the extracted text to make it consistent with this Code.
