So is it listed and labelled? How do you approve it for that use? Engineering for the "pedestal" or accepted trade practice?Yes, per the definition of Equipment and as discussed and confirmed by CMP-1, hence for the change in the definition of Structure for the 2017 NEC. The Code Making Panel 1 (CMP-1) specifically pointed out the phrase "...and the like" in the definition of equipment. One of the reasons the change to the definition of the word Structure even happened was to clarify that ground rods were not needed for situations such as the one presented in this thread.
(B) Installation and Use. Equipment that is listed, labeled, or both shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.
