Hi Joe:
The NEC is a model electrical code. The NFPA
intends the code to be adopted by local
jurisdictions.
Some jurisdictions, like the City of Los Angeles,
write their own codes.
Other jurisdictions adopt the NEC with changes,
some of which affect the certification of products
and equipment mentioned in the code. Without
studying the code in each jurisdiction, one cannot
make a statement that certification is required
for all electrical equipment in all jurisdictions.
However, NRTL certification is acceptable, but not
necessarily required, in all jurisdictions.
Best regards,
Rich
