Thanks to all who have responded to this query thus far. To carry this thread along, I'll pose another question, which is: Does anyone know if there are any local, county and/or state jurisdictions that go beyond, or are in addition to, those regulations of OSHA and/or the NEC? If anyone knows of any, please share with the group as this information would be very useful. Please include specific regulations, if they are known. I look forward to your replies. Best regards, Ron Pickard [email protected]

Author: "Peter Tarver" <[email protected]> at INTERNET List-Post: [email protected] Date: 9/16/98 11:00 AM To muddy the waters further, Ron, I offer a converse reminder: many Authorities Having Jurisdiction are still using versions of the NEC the precede the introduction of 800-4 (and the previous location of the same idea in the 1990 NEC that eludes me). I've known of some jurisdictions to use the 1984 NEC as late as 1997, but didn't make note of which. Peter L.
