ok....

Wiring that is to be abandoned in place shall be marked, tagged and made unable to be energized.

still a far cry from what has already been turned down here....

Quote

Permanent wiring abandoned in place shall be tagged or otherwise
identified at its termination and junction points as "Abandoned in
Place" or removed from all accessible areas and insulated from
contact with other live electrical wiring or devices.

why was this considered 'a broad statement'? what is NFPA 1? Is there any existing FPN to this effect in the NEC now?? [Linked Image]
