Does anyone else see irony or contradiction here?
Doesn't the NFPA strive to make the NEC an 'international' code? Aren't they continually foisting things on us (like TR receptacles) simply because they're used elsewhere?
Yet, here they go, trying to protect us from Euro appliances.
I do, and yes I agree. Code is supposed to be international, but this very code section goes against that. IMO, I don't know when it was added, but it could be an old hold over from way back when.
I've been thinking about sending in a proposal down the road, wonder what the would say about it?
