nm cable in drop ceiling space

[mtnelectrical]

What is the code reference that we can not use NM above drop ceiling?

 

[Buck Parrish]

Peter will get it, the code reference.

But I'll just tell you it's okay in resi. but, not commercial.

But!! Lots of jurisdictions have their own ordinances relating to this.

Don't be fooled...I'm just a hack who knows his ways around a code book.

As for the OP, he'll be back. They always come back for more.

Personally, I like this one myself:

ii. Section 334.12(A)(2) is deleted in its entirety.

I thought you were quoting the Indiana amendments.

Sec. 19. In SECTION 334.12(A), delete Item (2) without substitution.

What are you asking? Are you asking whether nm is okay in a drop ceiling with wood framing above. The answer is NO unless it is residential.
