§ 43-09-21 — Standards for wiring, apparatus, and equipment

All electrical and power limited wiring, apparatus, or equipment must comply with the rules
of the board made under authority of the laws of this state and in conformity with the approved
methods of construction for safety to life and property. The regulations in the national electrical
code and the national electrical safety code as approved by the American national standards
institute are prima facie evidence of these approved methods. Although a city may make more
stringent requirements by ordinance, application of the ordinance must be limited to individuals
licensed by the board under this chapter. An electrical or power limited system installation may
not be connected for use until proof has been furnished to the person supplying electrical
energy that there is compliance with the applicable regulations. The manufacturer of a new
manufactured building or modular unit shall make any changes required for the proof within
fourteen days from the notice that the building or unit does not comply with the applicable
regulations. This section does not apply to the movement of a new manufactured building or
modular unit into or within this state before the process of being connected for use.
