Are self testing GFCI receptacles required by code? 2011? 2014?

Not that I am aware of-- there are afci breakers that have self tests also and that is not a requirement of the NEC
The UL standard changed requiring GFCIs to incorporate that feature, but code does not mandate that feature.
Thanks Dennis. I hope they are not considering requiring them in the 2017 either.
I do not remember seeing a change in the 2017 ROP requiring it.
Not likely as the only listed GFCIs that will be available will be the self testing type. So there is no need to change the code.Give it time........
