Section 26 now mandates the use of tamper-resistant receptacles in additional areas where children may be present. Section 62 now requires ground fault circuit interrupter protection for heating devices and controls in proximity to tubs, sinks, and shower stalls. Section 10 has been updated, reorganized, and significantly reduced in length. Requirements for power over ethernet systems have been added to Section 16, and requirements for marinas, wharves, and similar facilities have been substantially updated and reorganized in Section 78.
To address the increasing use of electric vehicles, Section 8 now formally recognizes energy management systems as a method of reducing the load on building services. Because lighting control devices associated with energy management or home automation require power to operate, Section 4 now requires that an identified conductor be provided for all devices controlling permanently installed luminaires. Other revisions in this edition include the following: • in Section 26, Rules 26-400 to 26-726 have been reorganized and renumbered in order to group related concepts together and provide a more logical flow for the requirements; • in many Sections, the redundant use of the term “approved” has been eliminated; • clarification has been provided on arc-fault circuit interrupter protection for bathrooms, washrooms, existing circuits, and circuits supplying carbon monoxide or smoke alarms; • requirements for dining area and refrigerator circuits have been clarified; • the terms “jacketed”, “insulated”, and “covered” as applied to conductors have been clarified through a new definition of the term “jacket” and a revised definition of the term “conductor” in Section 0. As a result, the term “conductor” has been replaced with “insulated conductor” in many Sections of the Code; • Section 82 has been deleted as it covered a technology that is no longer in use; and • a new Appendix M containing French translations of markings has been added. Many of the changes in this edition were developed by cross-functional working groups. Their work is gratefully acknowledged.
