The inspector must abide by the certifications 
approved by the local building/electrical code
jurisdiction.

It would be more accurate to substitute "local
jurisdiction" for "inspector."

OSHA NRTL and local code processes are independent
of each other.  I agree that it would be prudent
of the local jurisdiction to accept OSHA NRTLs 
rather than establish other criteria which might
exclude one or more NRTLs.

I believe TUV-R has indeed applied for acceptance
in most or all local jurisictions.  (Don't rely 
on my belief.)


Best regards,
Rich
