Re: Switched Din. Rm. Outlet?
Bob I wish that you had posted the paragraph that came before yours. I agree that the commentary and supplementary materials in the handbook are not a part of the Code and cannot be enforced but I don?t know any inspectors that won?t rule by them. The hand book is a great study guide and I use it a lot even in my Standard Inspector courses.
Here is the header and paragraph that starts your paragraph read it closely,
Notice Concerning Code Interpretations: This ninth edition of the National Electrical Code Handbook is based on the 2002 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. All NFPA codes, standards, recommended practices, and guides are developed in accordance with the published procedures of the NFPA by technical committees comprised of volunteers drawn from a broad array of relevant interests. The handbook contains the complete text of NFPA 70 and any applicable Formal Interpretations issued by the Association. These documents are accompanied by explanatory commentary and other supplementary materials.
For those who think that the hand book is a different code, the above paragraph states clearly that the hand book contains the complete text of NFPA 70 (the code)
