When working with electrical gear safety is of the utmost importance, and regular maintenance of your gear can help ensure that safety. This is what NFPA 70B is all about, not just maintenance, but tracking, planning, and logging of your electrical maintenance and having an electrical maintenance plan (EMP) to do so. As of 2023, NFPA 70B moved from being a suggestion to being a standard. This means that NFPA 70B went from being something you should do to something you SHALL do. It is no longer optional. Gimba is the only known fully capable NFPA 70B software to support these activities.
Why NFPA 70B Software?
NFPA 70B software is critical to compliance. NFPA 70B is not just about getting your maintenances done, it is about tracking them and tracking them in a sophisticated way that only software can support. For more information check out our NFPA 70B resources guide for further details. But in general, you are not compliant if you do your maintenances, you are only compliant if you do your maintenances AND keep detailed documentation and records and have an electrical maintenance plan. This is where Gimba is instrumental when it comes to NFPA 70B Software support.

Key aspects of NFPA 70B include:
