In order to be in compliance with NEC, OSHA, and DOE regulations all electronic and electrical equipment at the APS will have to be inspected. This includes all electronic and electrical equipment brought to the APS by users for use in their experiments. It is currently expected that this program will become mandatory beginning April 25, 2006. The APS has already started inspecting user electronics that are not tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). This includes any type of non-commercial, home-built electronic and electrical equipment. The APS designated electrical equipment inspectors (DEEI) that are available for user equipment inspections. Please see the links below for additional information.
