Sandro,
There will be no 4 month phase-in.
It was included in the 2002'OESC which
was released on April 25th.
This rule applies to all receptacle installations located within 1 m of a kitchen sink along the wall behind
counter work surfaces where the plans or application for inspection is received on or after January 1, 2003.
If the plans, or application for electrical inspection was submitted before 2003' then the old rules still apply.
