I noticed that tamper-resistant receptacles are not required everywhere. E4002.14 requires tamper-resistant receptacles in areas specified in Section E3901.1
So if they are not required everywhere I am trying to figure out where they are not required.
E3901.1 General. Outlets for receptacles.....shall be provided in accordance with E3901.2 to E3901.11
So these receptacles are specified so they must be tamper-resistant, but any extra receptacles (extra wall, counter, outside, etc.) that are not required do not need to be tamper-resistant?
Also section E3901.1 specifies receptacles that are
1. Part of a luminaire or appliance
2. Located within cabinets or cupboards
3. controlled by a wall switch in accordance with section E3903.2 exception 1; or
4. Located over 5.5 feet above floor
So since 1 to 4 is specified they need to be tamper-resistant?
