listed

installed

The correct answer is: listed

The correct choice is that a luminaire must be "listed" to be used as a raceway without necessitating a box or conduit body for the wiring installed within it. A listed luminaire has been tested and meets specific safety standards set by recognized third-party testing laboratories. This listing ensures that the luminaire is designed and approved for such use, confirming that it can safely contain and protect the wiring without the additional need for separate raceway enclosures. When luminaires are specifically listed for raceway use, they are engineered to handle wiring in a way that meets electrical code requirements, which includes considerations for heat buildup and electrical protection. This allows for a more streamlined installation process while adhering to safety regulations. By confirming that the luminaire is listed, installers can ensure compliance with the electrical code, which has provisions for the safe installation of electrical components.
