Re: NEC Article 517
The provisions of this article shall apply to electrical construction and installation criteria in health care facilities that provide services to human beings.
The requirements in Parts II and III not only apply to single-function buildings but are also intended to be individually applied to their respective forms of occupancy within a multifunction building (e.g., a doctor?s examining room located within a limited care facility would be required to meet the provisions of 517.10).
FPN: For information concerning performance, maintenance, and testing criteria, refer to the appropriate health care facilities documents.
you be the judge
