What this subtopic covers

Permits issued and valid; inspection reports, correction notices, stop work orders and certificate-of-occupancy data; approved plans and specifications on the job site, including reading fixture schedules, panel schedules and riser diagrams.

Paraphrased from the certification content outline published by the International Code Council for the E2 exam. This page cites no code sections and reproduces no code text: your code book carries the requirements, and the skill this site trains is finding them fast.

How to drill it

  • Find the chapter of the the adopted electrical code that carries this subject and read it once for structure, not retention: what lives here, what gets sent elsewhere, which tables exist.
  • Write your own plain-language phrases for what this subtopic covers, then note the code's terms beside them. Mismatches between the two columns are exactly where exam questions cost you time.
  • Run timed lookups: pick a requirement named in the descriptor above, start a stopwatch, find the governing text in your book, stop. Log the seconds. Past two minutes is a miss even when the answer is right.
  • Weight your reps to the number above. Roughly 2 to 3 questions means this subtopic deserves repeated timed reps inside its area session.
