The tragic collapse of Champlain Tower South in Surfside, Florida in 2021 was a moment that forever changed how building safety is viewed across the state — and the nation. In the aftermath, Miami-Dade County’s Board of Rules and Appeals revised its 40-Year Building Recertification Guidelines, mandating more thorough and frequent structural and electrical inspections.

NFPA 70B 2023: A New Era for Electrical Preventive Maintenance For decades, NFPA 70B – Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance  has served as the gold standard for electrical safety. But in 2023, the National Fire Protection Association made a critical change that directly impacts every U.S. facility with electrical infrastructure: Infrared thermography is no longer “recommended” — it is now required . This update marks a pivotal shift in how organizations must approac

With the 2023 update to NFPA 70B, thermographic inspections are no longer optional — they’re mandated. At Assured NDT , we’ve created a practical, easy-to-read guide to help facility leaders, insurers, and safety professionals understand what’s now required when it comes to infrared inspections and reporting. What’s changed in NFPA 70B How to stay in NFPA 70B compliance What must be included in a compliant inspection report How to align inspection frequency with equipment con

For plant managers overseeing complex electrical systems, understanding and mitigating arc flash risk isn’t just a best practice — it’s a legal and ethical obligation.

In today’s competitive environment, preventing downtime isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s where predictive maintenance comes in.

In healthcare, patient safety is always the top priority — but electrical safety is just as critical. Hospitals, clinics, labs, and surgical centers depend on complex electrical systems running 24/7 to power life-saving equipment and sensitive technology.

Why NFPA 70B Inspections Matter for Hospitals and Healthcare

In the hospitality industry, guest satisfaction and smooth operations are inseparable — and no one knows this better than chief engineers and facility directors.

The Hidden Threats Lurking Behind the Walls of Hospitality

Arc flash incidents are one of the most dangerous — and most underestimated — electrical hazards in commercial and industrial facilities

In 2023, NFPA 70B underwent a major revision that transformed it from a recommended guideline into a mandatory standard for electrical preventive maintenance.

Your facility’s electrical room powers everything — yet it’s one of the most overlooked risks in commercial and industrial buildings.

Electrical system failures remain one of the leading causes of property damage and business interruption across commercial and industrial facilities.

An Arc Flash Study is a vital risk assessment of your facility's electrical system. At Assured NDT, we evaluate potential arc flash hazards and translate them into actionable insights.

As solar and alternative energy systems become essential to modern infrastructure, ensuring they perform reliably and efficiently is more critical than ever.

Infrared thermography is a powerful diagnostic tool that uses thermal imaging technology to detect and measure heat patterns across surfaces.

Electrical system failures can be catastrophic—causing equipment damage, unplanned downtime, and safety hazards.

When it comes to protecting critical infrastructure and maximizing equipment performance, preventive maintenance is essential.
