NFPA can be viewed free online, however, CSA C22.1, C22.3, and C22.3 appear
to be by purchase only.

Hi Steve, 

 

Hope all is well with you.  

 

See the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, Article 210.8 for the list of
locations that require GFCI in the US.

 

In Canada, see Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1, Rule 26-704 and
26-710, as well as other locations for GFCI requirements.

 

Best regards,

 

DON GIES

Esteemed experts:

 

It has always been what I thought was the requirement for GFCI receptacles
was only when the product or system was intended for a wet or damp location.

 

A system a client is having an NRTL fo a Field Evaluation on had receptacles
and they are being told they need to be GFCI.

 

NFPA-79 15.1.1 requires this only for receptacles to be used for, e.g.,
handheld power tools, test equipment, and other accessories.

 

The questions are:

- What is the definition of accessories as used in NFPA-79,

 - And is it written in any other standard where and when GFCI outlets are
required?

 

Thank you.
