A
Answer:
Hey Robert thanks for your question. It depends on what standard the equipment is built to and whether it is listed. The question needs to be answered by the AHJ as stated in 90.4. Sections 90.7, 110.2, and 110.3 might also be helpful. A field evaluation by a representative from a Qualified Testing Laboratory could also help determine acceptability. Depending on what the equipment is, if the NEC has a specific listing rule that could be a deciding factor. Modifying equipment manufactured by someone else could also affect the warranty. It would have been better to ask these questions before ordering the equipment.
