A mis-named forum!
(OP)
What CERTAINLY must have been called out by now is the complete disconnect between "Electrical code issues" and the IEEE. Having been a member of the IEEE, the IAEI, the IBEW, and eng-tips for what I would consider various long times, I can say and will defend (if need be) that the the IEEE is primarily intersted in SCIENCE, and does produce some STANDARDS. The IBEW is a labor union. The IAEI is a bunch of electrical inspectors, whose interest is in the enforcement of the document produced by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) known as NFPA 70, or the National Electrical Code. The NFPA70 is a commercial and political document, and the NFPA seeks it's adoption by all states and municipalities in the US and beyond. New editions are produced on a 3 year cycle.
THERE IS NO CONNECTION OR INTERCEPT OF THE IEEE AND THE NFPA.
THE IEEE PRODUCES NO "ELECTRICAL CODE" used by legislators (unfortunately) or even organizations like the NFPA.
IEEE documents are produced by the research and scientific work of it's members and non-members, mostly working in educational institutions. IEEE documents tell us about how things actually work and behave, and how electricity can be measured, used and controlled or manipulated.

NFPA 70 - the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70A - the National Electrical Code for 1- and 2-family dwellings
NFPA 70B - Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance
NFPA 70E - Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace
Plus another 416 standards. NFPA standards are modified on a 3-year cycle from public inputs (PIs).
Some of the technical content within the NEC (in its various forms) is taken from standards (and recommended practices, and guides) written by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). CODES are not written by the IEEE or International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), for that matter.
