An excellent elaboration. Norway is not the only place with rocks. Rock really has little to do with the issue. A common equipotential environment is the goal. It's unfortunate we ever started with the terms earthing or grounding. In the US, the code requires this environment be created by comm

Hi Jim (Robert), I think what NTC is getting at with this wording is their requirement that the applicant for approval must be a local in-country company. This is in fact true, but there are ways to arrange for type approval if you don't have a local presence yourselves in the Philippines.
