governing enforcement agency.
The following is a partial list of the codes that may have direct impact on your installation. This list is not meant to
be comprehensive. Consult with your local building, electrical and fire protection agencies to get proper direction
to the local codes that will affect your installation.
• NEC National Electric Safety Code, ANSI C2-1993 (or latest revision)
• UBC Uniform Building Code or locally applied Building Code
• IBC International Building Code
