I am trying to find how to tell if this proposal died for good, or was moved somewhere else. Reason is I would like to comment on it. There was a push for absence of voltage indicators that was pushed for 2023. I can't find it at 110.25, but don't know how to tell if it got sent to another committee under a new name or not. They were trying to add it to article 408 as well. Did it die or get moved?
I personally think it's too early to put this in the NEC. These things seems great and could offer a lot in terms of improving worker safety. I've attended some webinars on them, never seen one in real life. However, they aren't a substitute for qualified people, they only indicate a given location is de-energized, which requires both proper install and a knowledge of what section they indicate may be safe. And they are new. I think they should be introduced by those employers who wish to use them and be given some time to be adopted before they become a requirement. I had some public comment I could post here for consideration but I am trying first to find if this proposal is still a thing. It appears that the person who submitted the public input for this is one of several companies that make these.
