Drgnz23, yes you are. You are also required to do equipotential and leakage testing. This can be found in Chapter 4 of the 2002 NFPA 99 or chapter 3 of the earlier cycles of NFPA 99.
I'll post the actual sections tomorrow.

Yes it was. While I was typing I was thinking that you would know the answer. Glad I matched you.

Drgnz23, the actual chapter sections from the 2002 NFPA 99 is, 4.3.3 through 4.3.4.2.2. (4.3.4.1.1 through 4.3.4.4.2 covers receptacle testing)
