When we have to start installing receptacles in the entire dwelling for this type of requirement, it now becomes absurd. They did make a statement saying they are waiting for comment, and I believe during the comment stage this will be shot down.
There are no young children in my household and if there were, they would be my concern, not CMP 18s concern.
I am seeing a trend here for going all out in dwelling unit requirements...it seems AFCIs are also possibly going to be universal, although I think that will not make it past the comment stage either.
If our wiring installations are so dangerous, why not eliminate electrical installations from dwellings?????
