Board members also participate on various NETA committees, such as the Standards Review Council, Certification Exam, Membership, Finance, Association Development and Strategy, Promotions and Marketing, Nominations and Mission Based Programs.
By 1972, it was widely recognized that this rapid growth demanded some oversight to promote safety, system reliability, and quality testing.
That same year, NETA released its first standard, Acceptance Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems.
In its ever-increasing desire to keep ahead of the changing industry, the NETA Accredited Company (NAC) program was instituted in 1991.
Shortly thereafter, a program was developed for individual professionals in the electrical power industry to join NETA as alliance partners.
This periodical contains articles on technical updates, industry trends, case studies and training information.
To qualify as an NAC, companies must first be third-party, independent firms that have no bias with potential clients or affiliation with a particular brand of equipment.
The Alliance Program at NETA is a network of professionals and companies who have vested interests in furthering the safety and reliability of electrical power equipment.
Online courses cover specific areas of acceptance testing and include interactive portions.
NETA organizes and hosts PowerTest, an annual conference focused on electrical power systems commissioning, acceptance, maintenance, and safety.
It consists of five days of presentations, panel discussions, half-day seminars, a trade show, new product innovations, and networking opportunities.
