I support legislation to specifically exempt Industrial Equipment from requiring an approval by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL). Idaho's current requirement for listing of Industrial Equipment is inconsistent with the National Electrical Code and most other states' electrical safety requirements. The listing requirement places an undue financial burden on Idaho manufacturers, hurts the Idaho manufacturing economy and therefore reduces the number of jobs available to Idaho citizens.
Why is this important?
The Southwest Idaho Manufacturers' Alliance is committed to supporting manufacturing and the current regulations place undue regulation and expense on Idaho manufacturers.
