Is it permissible to use a box such as a Raco 192 (4" sq) box under an outside canopy ?
The NEC notes that such areas are deemed "lamp locations" in definitions.
314.15 simply states in damp and wet locations boxes should be mounted to prevent water for entering or accumulating. 314.15 also states that boxes in WET locations must be so listed, but no listing requirement for DAMP location boxes..
However, UL QCIT (pg 294 UL '10 White Book) for metallic outlet boxes states that "Damp location boxes and covers are intended to be so located....... and are marked 'damp location' "
I find no such marking on Raco or Steel City standard 4" boxes.
