I don't recall specifically but I think the term identified is only used in the chapters referring to classified area installations. I don't think there's a cheat sheet for what has to be listed and what doesn't. Each section of the code that requires listing for parts will just say what has to be listed.I am preparing for a master test and I keep making mistakes when it comes to listed v identified.
I understand the definitions.
Which equipment has to be listed and which has to be identified?
Do you have a cheat sheet for this?
Benders for PVC must be identified if used in the field.I don't recall specifically but I think the term identified is only used in the chapters referring to classified area installations.

So the people using hair dryers in the field to make bends and PVC are not following the code?Benders for PVC must be identified if used in the field.
It depends on your interpretation or 'identified'.So the people using hair dryers in the field to make bends and PVC are not following the code?
If the end result is professional and does not collapse the conduit or kink it, then I am sure the inspector wont care or ask. If they do ask then the inspector can "Identify" the hair dryer as acceptable based on the acceptable results.So the people using hair dryers in the field to make bends and PVC are not following the code?
Yes, it is the AHJ's call....identified means "recognized as suitable", but the code never tells us who is permitted to identify the equipment as suitable, yes it gives examples of who can recognize something, but those are in an Informational Note and not enforceable code language.It depends on your interpretation or 'identified'.
Or actually the AHJ's definition.
A hairdryer to bend PVC? A heat gun, yes, a hairdryer is not going to warm it enough to do anything.
Heat guns & weed burners work for bending pipe but they certainly are not identified for it, but if someone leaves scorch marks on the PVC it will raise red flags.
