Electrical Exam Term
Approved
Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), indicating that equipment or installations meet the required standards.
Detailed Explanation
Per NEC Article 100, 'approved' means acceptable to the AHJ. Equipment is typically approved through listing and labeling by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) such as UL or ETL. Inspectors may reject installations using non-approved equipment even if it appears functional. Always verify approval status before purchasing and installing electrical equipment.
