While looking up code references for the dishwasher thread, I came across some code rules that sound like product standards:

422.17
422.42
422.44
422.45
422.46
422.47
422.49
422.50
422.61

Are these rules within the scope of the NEC? :confused:

Edited to add more.

I think these came about because UL and the CPSC decided these features were desirable from a safety standpoint and convinced someone to add them to the electrical code to force it on the rest of us.

You mean to void insurance if the fire marshall finds that my iron didn't come with a stand?
 
Re: Superfluous 422.XXX rules??

Isn't your iron grandfathered to when you bought it? :D

if you read the section carefully, it states the stand can be built in to the iron. i have never seen an iron that does not sit upright. so my guess is your iron does meet the requirement.

are you allowed to build your own water heater? IIRC, a water heater has to be ASME stamped.

Shoot, I was hoping no one would take me seriously. :D I should have included this guy ;) in my post.

Good question though. You are probably right. All the more reason why these rules don't belong in the code.

Ahhrrgg. You're right Bob.

I thought I had a perfectly good gripe, now you ruined it for me. :D
