Off the top of my head... 110.3(B).

Not sure if the cord end is listed for use with NM?

I think that what Pete said above, is correct. Also check out art 100, the definition of an attachment plug or cap and it says that it is to be attached to a flexable cord.

It isn't a male plug, it's the female end that is attached to the NM.

Here is what UL has to say

Terminals ? Terminals of appliance couplers, appliance and flatiron plugs, attachment plugs, cord connectors and table taps are intended for use
with stranded copper conductors of the type used in flexible cord.

 

[480sparky]

By definition as well.

Attachment Plug (Plug Cap) (Plug). A device that, by
insertion in a receptacle, establishes a connection between
the conductors of the attached flexible cord and the conductors
connected permanently to the receptacle.

Receptacle. A receptacle is a contact device installed at the
outlet for the connection of an attachment plug. A single
receptacle is a single contact device with no other contact
device on the same yoke. A multiple receptacle is two or
more contact devices on the same yoke.
