210.52 (C) (2) (a) now requires "At least one receptacle outlet shall be provided for the first (9 ft2), or fraction thereof, of the countertop or work surface. A receptacle outlet shall be provided for every additional (18 ft2), or fraction thereof, of the countertop or work surface."
The question has come up is a duplex receptacle considered two outlets? Example: Island with a square foot measurement of 30 ft2, if they have a (2) gang box with (2) duplex receptacles, does that cover the intent?
The definition of receptacle states "multiple receptacle is two or more contact devices on the same yolk..."
Just looking for clarification to ensure it is being enforced correctly (do not want to require a three gang box if it is not a code requirement). Thank you in advance.
