Tony no one is saying you are dumb.
Yes both Roger and I are well aware the FPN mentions electrical inspectors.
It does not prove anything.
Here again is the
entire FPN.
FPN: The phrase ``authority having jurisdiction'' is used in NFPA documents in a broad manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department, or health department; building official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In many circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ; at government installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may be the AHJ.
Would you say this means home owners in your area are the AHJ?
You need to find out the laws for
your area.
If you send me an email telling me what area you live I will see if I can find out.
You may be right, your electrical inspector
may be the AHJ, it is much more likely they are not.
Instead of fighting try to keep an open mind and learn something new.
