Considering V.A. doesn't have a separate certification for low voltage, I
certainly hope we're excluded. It would be difficult to get all of our
technicians though a 3 year apprenticeship as required by law for a full
certification.

rolling stock or installations used exclusively for signaling and

Additional information can be found through consultation with the appropriate
governmental bodies, such as state regulatory commissions, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission.
(C) Special Permission. The authority having jurisdiction for enforcing this
Code may grant exception for the installation of conductors and equipment that
are not under the exclusive control of the electric utilities and are used to
connect the electric utility supply system to the service conductors of the
premises served, provided such installations are outside a building or
structure, or terminate inside at a readily accessible location nearest the
point of entrance of the service conductors.
