Enforcement
Formal Interpretation procedures have been established by the NFPA to promote uniformity of interpretation and application. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for enforcement of the CODE makes interpretations of the rules, gives final approval for equipment and materials. Examination for Safety: For specific items of equipment and materials referred to in the CODE, examinations for safety made under standard conditions (i.e., listed by a qualified electrical testing laboratory) provides a basis for approval. If equipment is Listed, the CODE suggests that the AHJ only look for modifications and for proper installation in accordance with the instructions provided with the equipment.
