Q: Clarification of "Agricultural Exempt" status is needed for October 22, 2002 discussion at Industry Meeting requiring all building permitted under "Agricultural Exempt"
status must be wired to comply with Article 547. If no livestock will be in building and only tack rooms, storage rooms, etc are present, would Article 547 still be enforced?
A: Yes, the State of Oregon will give no exceptions. Generally, structures are wired according to the use and occupancy. If a structure is designated as an agricultural building or an agricultural
building exemption has been granted, Article 547 applies. Article 547 grants the AHJ authority to allow wiring methods from Chapter 3 to be used depending upon the use of specific areas of the structure.
See 547.3, 547.5
