Thank you for taking time.
Application is an instrument cable used for refinery and petro chemical plant.
If country regulation (such as fire and gas) exists, we shall follow it. Otherwise, EPC contractor needs to hear the owner company self-regulation. This is my understanding.
I would like to hear other instrument engineer experiences since common practice for power cables specification may be different from instrument cables.

The NEC applies to the USA. There are other places called 'the rest of the world' where the NEC is a vaguely interesting sideshow with no legal significance.
Isn't it worth establishing where the OP is and what code he is governed by before quoting the NEC at him...?
