Not unless required by the manufacturer.

I agree with Gus, it is not specifically required by the NEC.

However if it is cord and plug connected in an outdoor location the receptacle supplying it is required to have GFCI protection regardless of what gets plunged into it.

It could be require in residential installations if you wanted to only bury your wiring method 12".
