Hi all,
New concessions/storage shed. Does this require GFCI outlets? Does not contain a sink so by code is not considered a kitchen. (Just has hot dog warmer, microwave, etc). 210.8(B)(8) notes GFCI protection of outlets is required in garages, ACCESSORY BUILDINGS (emphasis mine), service bays, and similar areas other than vehicle exhibition halls and showrooms. "Accessory buildings" is new language added to the 2020 code. Does this refer to ALL kinds of accessory buildings, or just those associated with vehicles? I assume the intent is for vehicles, but it is not clearly written this way. Anyone know?
For the storage side of the building we will put outlets. (FWIW the storage and concessions areas are each about 130 SF - small.)
