Mr. Inspector

Now that we are required to use The AAMA/NPEA/NSA 2100-12 for sunrooms are all sections in the IRC and NEC related to receptacles exempt for Category I, II and III sunrooms?
8.6 ELECTRICAL
8.6.1 Exit and Stairway Illumination
All sunrooms shall provide stairway and egress illumination as required by local code.
EXCEPTION 2: Category I sunrooms are not required to have exit lighting.
8.6.2 Receptacle Outlets
Receptacle outlets in Category IV and V sunrooms shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 Article 314.
EXCEPTION 3: Category I, II and III sunrooms are exempt from requirements for receptacle outlets.
Article 314 includes:
1. receptacle covers for wet areas
2. box fill
3. conductors entering boxes
4.supports
5.depth of boxes
6.covers an canopies
7. outlet boxes
8.pull and junction boxes an conduit bodies
9. handholds
10 construction of boxes
This seems odd. Why you you go to the NEC instead of the IRC anyway?
Does exemption 3 mean they don't need arc-faults, GFI, covers, weather-proof receptacles and covers, wall and kitchen counter spacing, bathroom receptacles, grounding type receptacles, faceplates, mounting,tamper-resistant receptacles, etc. in category I, II and III sunrooms?
Also iRC requires a receptacle in a porch with no definition of a porch.
