Electrical inspection

(OP)
I've recently taken over a position for someone who has left.  We are required to do random inspections on electrial panels installed and maintained by a contractor.  I've been reading through past reports and saw a discrepancy that was noted for a particular panel.  It stated that unlocked panels require a proper dead front according to the NEC.  I've been reading the NEC (alot of article 312) and couldn't find any reference to such.  Can anyone point out where that info would be in the NEC if it does exist?  Thanks in advance.

RE: Electrical inspection

Check related articles for your application. Some Articles within NFPA 70 that reference dead fronts follow:
110.26 (A) (1)
250.174 (B)
406.6 (B)
408.36
520.21
