Industry Standards & Compliance

Proof OS aligns directly with rigorous technical requirements:

  • NEC (National Electrical Code) Parity: Automated load calculation checks and wire gauge validation.
  • Permit & Inspection Tracking: Integrated municipal permit logs and inspector sign-off archives.
  • EV Charger & Generator Workflows: Standardized field checklists for high-voltage and backup power installs.

The Field Implementation Checklist

  1. Panel & Circuit Mapping: Record pre-work voltage, breaker configurations, and feeder conditions.
  2. Safety & Lockout Verification: Log adherence to OSHA and NFPA 70E electrical safety protocols.
  3. Digital Inspection Package: Deliver clean, permit-ready documentation directly to the municipal portal.
