2. The Interconnection Equipment shall meet the requirements of the most current approved version of each code and standard listed above, as amended and supplemented at the time the Interconnection Request is submitted to be deemed Certified;
3. The Interconnection Equipment has been labeled and is publicly listed by such NRTL at the time of the interconnection application;
4. The Interconnection Customer verifies that the intended use of the Interconnection Equipment falls within the use or uses for which the Interconnection Equipment is labeled and is listed by the NRTL;
5. If the Interconnection Equipment is an integrated equipment package such as an inverter, then the Interconnection Customer shall show that the generator or other electric source being utilized is compatible with the Interconnection Equipment and is consistent with the testing and listing specified for this type of Interconnection Equipment;
6. If the Interconnection Equipment includes only interface components (switchgear, multi-function relays, or other interface devices), an Interconnection Customer shall demonstrate that the generator or other electric source being utilized is compatible with the Interconnection Equipment and is consistent with the testing and listing specified for this type of Interconnection Equipment; and
7. Certified Interconnection Equipment shall not require further design testing or Production Testing, as specified by IEEE Standard 1547 Sections 5.1 and 5.2, or additional Interconnection Equipment modification to meet the requirements.
