Hi Rich. If you are referring to clause (2):
*(2) With respect to an installation or equipment of a kind that no nationally recognized testing laboratory accepts, certifies, lists, labels, or determines to be safe, if it is inspected or tested by another Federal agency, or by a State, municipal, or other local authority responsible for enforcing occupational safety provisions of the National Electrical Code, and found in compliance with the provisions of the National Electrical Code as applied in this subpart; o*r Correct me if I am wrong, "BUT ONLY" if that piece of equipment *cannot be certified by the NRTL's*, which is almost rare nowadays when you look at the extensive scope of accreditation of the NRTL's.
