Would someone be so kind as to direct to me the section of the code that speaks to the requirements for spark rings?

Thank you all...

Which edition? In 2014 it's about the depth of a box and/or mud ring.

Spark ring=listed extender.

314.20 In Wall or Ceiling.

In walls or ceilings with a
surface of concrete, tile, gypsum, plaster, or other noncom-
bustible material, boxes employing a flush-type cover or
faceplate shall be installed so that the front edge of the box,
plaster ring, extension ring, or listed extender will not be
set back of the finished surface more than 6 mm (1⁄4in.).

In walls and ceilings constructed of wood or other com-
bustible surface material, boxes, plaster rings, extension
rings, or listed extenders shall be flush with the finished
surface or project therefrom.
