This section describes the compliance documentation (compliance form[s]) required for compliance with the requirements of the Energy Standards regarding electrical power distribution systems.
At the time a building permit application is submitted to the enforcement agency, the applicant also submits plans and energy compliance documentation.
This section is addressed to the person preparing construction and compliance documents, and to the enforcement agency plan checkers who are examining those documents for compliance with the Energy Standards.
List of compliance documents for electrical power distribution systems is as follows; the documents are downloadable from California Energy Commission website under the “Compliance Manuals and Compliance Documents” section.
•NRCC-ELC-E, Certificate of Compliance, Electrical Power Distribution Systems
•NRCI-ELC-E, Certificate of Installation, Electrical Power Distribution Systems
There are no acceptance test forms for electrical power distribution systems because there are no required acceptance tests for electrical power distribution systems under the Energy Standards.
The following is the numbering scheme of the compliance documentation forms:
NRCC Nonresidential Certificate of Compliance
NRCI Nonresidential Certificate of Installation
ELC Electrical power distribution systems
E Primarily used by enforcement authority
A Primarily used by acceptance tester
Use a single compliance form for each building for the permit application; this is to ensure clarity of information for the permit and plan check process. The person who is eligible under Division 3 of the Business and Profession Code to accept responsibility for the building design can sign the compliance form
