Every state / jurisdiction has their own administrative provision for the adoption of building codes.

No, Florida will adopt the NEC 2005 on November 1st, 2006.
 
If you build by the 2005 code & that won't be adpoted for another 5 months, how likely can you use the new code in your defense to prove that the installation is approved.
 
None at all. However, I'm not to sure if there is anything in the 2005 that is less restrictive verses the 2002 NEC. The only two I can think of is the cahnge to 3XX.22 permitting cables in raceways and perhaps 422.16(B)(4) which allows range hoods to be cord-and-plug connected.

Do you have a specific issue?
 
the added exception to code#702.6 for mobile generators =

"Temporary connection of a portable generator without transfer equipment shall be permitted where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensures that only qualified persons service the installation and where the normal supply is physically isolated by a lockable disconnect means or by disconnection of the normal supply conductors."

I installed a kirk-key interlocked panelboard with 2 breakers (utility&generator)
The inspector said the panelboard needs to listed as a transfer switch.
I have not found any UL listing for manual transfer switches just automatic.
The interlocks are listed and the panelboard is.
Is there another NEC code that talks about key interlocks?
 
I think you should ask the inspector what article he thinks you are violating.

What is this generator running?

Note that article 700 and 701 say the transfer switch shall be identified for its use and shall be approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

However, article 702 leaves out those items, and only says that it should be "designed and installed so as to prevent the inadvertent interconnection of normal and alternate sources of supply.."

I think your kirk key does that.

Go to the Kirk Key company web site. There you will find the information that a Kirk Key system is allowed. We have installed many of these with no problems on inspections.
Your NEC code would be 110.3(B)

Bryan I have been cord connecting range hoods for years.Has that not been allowed ???? I always run a micro circuit and trim with a wire mold box and a single device.That way if the home owner wants a micro or a range hood then the install is quick and easy.
