GFCI Protection within 6' of sink

[gjhayes66]

Does a receptacle outside of a bathroom, but within 6ft of the vanity sink, require GFCI protection. Example; a bedroom receptacle serving bedroom wall space outside the bathroom, but within 6ft of the vanity if the bathroom door is open. My thoughts are if something with a 6ft cord were plugged into the receptacle, it would be able to reach the sink with the door open. 2014 NEC-210.8(A)(7).

Thank You

Unfortunately there is no exception for that situation so I would have to say a gfci is required.

Oh but there is ......... if you live in MA.

We have 210.8(E) which explains how the measurements are to be taken and that walls, doors, barriers etc end the measurement.
