The National Electric Code is updated yearly and is usually adopted by a locality some years after release. You can check with your local license and permit office what version is in effect in your locale or ask an electrician. It contains the rules for all types of electric work.
In the United States, the NEC is updated every 3 years on a very strict schedule and it is adopted by local jurisdictions at their discretion. It is not a government document until it is adopted by someone. The most recent update is the 2011 version. I know that Master Electrician tests are not yet based on it. Depending on the jurisdiction you may find a version as old as the 1999 NEC still in effect.
