OP, you will need to make sure you get the right version of the L16. L16-R = servo, legal. L16-P = linear actuator, needs legal motor to be legal. Just as a thought, you may want to make sure that the label with the type is visible for inspection in case an inspector asks questions.
Realistically, if it works when it's plugged directly into a PWM port, it's legal. If you have to plug it into something else and plug the something else into a PWM port, it's not going to be legal.
