The National Electrical Code (NEC) is developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Where there is electricity, there is always the potential for fire. NEC doesn't cover electronics or computers & generally ends at the wall receptacle.
Just because a 12VDC battery doesn't give you a shock when you touch it, doesn't mean that it's harmless. Drop a screwdriver or wrench across a car battery & see what happens. They always say it's not the Volts that gets you, it's the Amps.
