Regarding 210.8(B)(5) for receptacles installed within 6' of the outside edge of a non-dwelling located sink - Mike Holt wrote a response article (http://ecmweb.com/qa/code-qa-gfci-requirements-other-dwelling-units?page=2) on ECM.com about plug and cord devices installed near a sink in an employee break room do not need to be GFCI protected. The response was written in 2016, and I cannot find this exception within the NEC.
Also, can anyone provide a better understanding of what does within 6' of a sink means exactly? Is it all encompassing? If there a dedicated commerical receptacle intended for a small refrigerator is located undercounter adjacent to a sink, does that need to be GFCI? If the sink is on one side of a wall protrusion, does the receptacle on the opposite side of the wall need to be GFCI protected, even though it is not facing the sink?
Thanks for your help!
