Same question as Chris. I didn't think that the local inspectors got involved if all you're doing is adding a machine to the floor.
And, on regs... a few years ago I was working at a company that bought a conveyor system that used about 100 small (1/4hp) VFDs. Turned out that if the VFD was in local mode, the E-Stop didn't. We found this out the hard way, of course, but fortunately nobody was injured. So the next day Manufacturing called Engineering, and I spent a couple of days looking to see if NH required any particular standards for machinery. Nope. Just NFPA 70... which of course has nothing much to do with the machine itself. And, to my surprise, OSHA had no explicit requirements for E-Stops either. NFPA 79 certainly does... but that code was not referenced by the state or federal gov't, and it was not part of the contract docs related to the machine purchase. So, we paid to refit the equipment with contactors ahead of the VFDs.
Are municipalities adding to their requirements? I'm not in facilities, but since I buy/build the equipment it would be good to know <g>.
