Charlie: I was looking the other day at the 2005 article 240, and I understand what you are saying. Basically, there is a new section that clarifies the fact that listed cord cord sets and cords of listed appliances do not apply to the rules of the NEC. While I appreciate the clarification, I still question whether or not it is really neccassary. I mean, did the code ever govern what you plug into the outlet, such as cord sets? I read the change and really scratched my head.
BTW: I completley agree with Don regarding the vending machine (and article 422) issues...they have no business in the code.
