ception is applied for and granted in the manner herein prescribed. The
person desiring to make such installation shall submit an application in
writing for such exception to the chief of the Division of Electrical In—
spection accompanied by written evidence satisfactory to sue authority,
indicating that laboratory approval has been applied for. Such exception,
if granted by the Chief of the Division of Electrical Inspection, shall
continue in force only during such time as such Inspector believes that the
testing laboratory will grant final approval certifying compliance to the
prescribed standards. If for any reason the Chief of the Division of
Electrical Inspection believes that the testing laboratory has not made an
adequate test of materials, devices or appliances, he may require that the
same be submitted to some other competent testing laboratory for further tests.
