Jeff,

It's a bit difficult to provide an exact answer since it's dependent on the
design of your system.  Is the system approved by an NRTL?  What is the
nature of the approval (i.e. listed, recognized, field investigated, etc.).
Different AHJ's may interpret and accept different markings from some NRTLs
as opposed to all markings from any NRTLs and it would have to be on your
shoulders to convince him/her otherwise.  

I suspect the inspector is drawing upon section 90-7 of the NEC and also the
definition of "Listed" in article 100.

My 2 Cents,

Kaz Gawrzyjal
