Some big changes for 120/208/240 vac appliances:


210.8
(D) Specific Appliances.
GFCI protection shall be provided for the branch circuit or outlet supplying the following appliances rated 150 volts or less to ground and 60 amperes or less, single- or 3-phase:
  • (1) Automotive vacuum machines
  • (2) Drinking water coolers and bottle fill stations
  • (3) High-pressure spray washing machines
  • (4) Tire inflation machines
  • (5) Vending machines
  • (6) Sump pumps
  • (7) Dishwashers
  • (8) Electric ranges
  • (9) Wall-mounted ovens
  • (10) Counter-mounted cooking units
  • (11) Clothes dryers

But that's not all. You still have to look at 422.5(A) & (B) for appliances.

  • (1) Automotive vacuum machines
  • (2) Drinking water coolers and bottle fill stations
  • (3) Cord-and-plug-connected high-pressure spray washing machines
  • (4) Tire inflation machines
  • (5) Vending machines

  • (7) Dishwashers

(B) Type and Location.
The GFCI shall be readily accessible, listed, and located in one or more of the following locations:
  • (1) Within the branch-circuit overcurrent device
