(5) Acceptability of interconnections with conductors or other equipment for other intrinsically safe circuits; and
(6) Information regarding any instructions or restrictions which were a condition of approval of the system or its components.
(b) Each intrinsically safe system must meet ANSI/ISA-RP12.06.01-2003 (incorporated by reference, see § 110.10-1 of this subchapter).
(c) For intrinsically safe systems under the standards cited in § 111.105-3(a)(1) and (2) the wiring methods must meet Sections 504.30, 504.50 and 504.60 of NFPA 70 (incorporated by reference, see § 110.10-1 of this subchapter). For intrinsically safe systems under the standards cited in § 111.105-3(b)(3) of this subpart, the installation and wiring must meet Clause 7, except for Clause 7.3.1, of IEC 60092-502:1999 (incorporated by reference, see § 110.10-1 of this subchapter).
