Required electrical to get an occupancy permit - Barn

[olly]

Customer wants me to only install the minimum required to get the CO / occupancy permit signed off. From my knowledge you need a light over the man door. Does it have to be every man door? A GFCI by the panel and a light over the breaker panel. This is for a barn. Does anyone know of anything else required?

The NEC doesn't talk about "occupancy permits" at all. That you're going to have to talk to the local inspectors about. WHen you say "barn" are we talking about an agricultural building, or just some looks-like-a-barn auxiliary structure to a dwelling? The NEC doesn't mandate electricity to be run to such at all, but provides rules based on the nature of the structure IF they are wired.

Are they going to live in the barn, maybe until a house is built? I've had a few customers do that and I've had to tell them that the living quarters have to be treated as a dwelling. This is per the AHJ here.
If all they want is power to the barn, then what you listed should do.

Dwellings require lighting outlets at/near or more like to illuminate entrances, not many other places do, or if they do is not required by NEC.

See 210.70 for general lighting requirements, majority of them apply to dwellings or guest rooms/suites and to attics/crawl spaces with equipment requiring servicing. Could be some specific requirements in certain locations in chapters 5, 6 or 7. Nothing in art 547 that I am aware of which likely can apply to your "barn".
