Recordkeeping Designed for NFPA 70B Compliance
NFPA 70B compliance, defined by the National Fire Protection Association, starts with a fundamental truth: you cannot maintain what you cannot define. Egalvanic is electrical maintenance software that tracks and defines your equipment, so you can focus on maintaining revenue-generating assets and building a compliant, data-driven maintenance program. Most facilities are not failing because they ignore maintenance. They are failing because of critical unknowns:
-
What preventive maintenance has already been completed?
-
Was anything missed during previous maintenance activities?
-
What is the actual condition of equipment behind closed panels and walls?
Build a Complete Electrical Asset Tracking Inventory
NFPA 70B compliance begins with knowing exactly what equipment exists within a facility. Every breaker, transformer, panel, and connection must be identified, classified, and tied to its location within the power distribution system. Most facilities rely on outdated one line diagrams, spreadsheets, or partial records that do not reflect current conditions. Egalvanic consolidates this information into a structured asset inventory, giving contractors and facility managers a clear and accurate view of their electrical infrastructure.
Create a Preventive Maintenance Program That Meets NFPA 70B Compliance Requirements
Once assets are defined, NFPA 70B requires a documented maintenance program based on asset type, condition, and operating environment. This program includes:
Visual Inspections
Quickly identify visible issues before they turn into costly failures.
Infrared Thermography
Detect hidden heat anomalies that signal electrical risks and inefficiencies.
Electrical Testing
Verify equipment performance and uncover problems not visible to the eye.
Preventive Maintenance Tasks
Keep critical assets running reliably with scheduled, standards-based maintenance.
Egalvanic maps each asset to the appropriate maintenance procedures and intervals, allowing teams to generate a multi year maintenance plan based on real equipment data. This makes it easier to present clear recommendations and confidently justify maintenance decisions to customers and stakeholders.
Capture Field Data and Maintain Accurate Records
Compliance depends on the ability to document maintenance as it is performed. Every inspection, test result, deficiency, and corrective action must be recorded and tied back to the specific asset.
Instead of relying on static reports or disconnected systems, Egalvanic enables field teams to capture data in real time using mobile workflows, even while offline. This creates a living record of equipment condition and maintenance history that can be accessed at any time.

Maintain Compliance Over Time with a System of Record
Electrical systems are constantly evolving, and your record keeping system should evolve with them. Equipment is replaced, settings are adjusted, and new assets are introduced. Without continuous updates, maintenance programs quickly become outdated and unreliable.
Egalvanic serves as a system of record that tracks all changes, updates one line diagrams, and preserves historical data. This allows organizations to maintain NFPA 70B compliance over time, reduce the need for repeated audits, and provide clear, verifiable evidence of maintenance for insurance and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NFPA 70B actually require from electrical contractors?
NFPA 70B requires a documented maintenance program based on your facility’s specific assets, including inspections, testing, and ongoing maintenance procedures tied to equipment condition and environment.
How do I build a 70B-compliant maintenance program if I don’t have complete asset data?
You can’t build a true 70B program without first defining your electrical assets. Most contractors start with spreadsheets or audits, but organizing that data into a structured system is what makes compliance possible.
Why isn’t a thermography report or audit enough for 70B compliance?
70B and insurance providers increasingly expect ongoing maintenance records—not just one-time reports. You need a system that tracks what was done, on which assets, and when over time.
How can I present a 70B maintenance program to customers?
Instead of generic recommendations, contractors need to show asset-level data, identified risks, and a clear multi-year maintenance plan to justify the work and win approval.
How can 70B help me generate more maintenance revenue?
By identifying asset conditions and required maintenance, 70B programs naturally uncover ongoing work opportunities—turning one-time audits into long-term service relationships.
