  • I'm not aware of any 'requirement' that TIA licensing or certification is required or that TIA standard must be complied with and that it's enforced (by whom?).


    • Reply from: Ken Lillemo   
    It is my experience that compliance with Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) standards is enforced at the contract level. I suppose it is possible for a municipality to overreach and require installations comply with TIA. However, non-compliance does not rise to the level of a safety concern as is addressed by the NEC. TIA compliance is a good thing, but falling short of TIA compliance generally means that performance is compromised, not hazards are created.
