2 of 53 1/28/2016 2:36 PM Second Revision No NFPA [ Definition: Receptacle. ] Receptacle. A contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of an attachment plug, or for the direct connection of listed and labeled electrical utilization equipment designed to mate with the corresponding contact device. A single receptacle is a single contact device with no other contact device on the same yoke. A multiple receptacle is two or more contact devices on the same yoke. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 18 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Fri Nov 06 14:55:12 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: The definition of Receptacle was modified to accommodate electrical utilization equipment employing a means, other than a traditional attachment plug cap, to connect directly to the corresponding contact device. This change was made to correlate with (E) and to recognize the existence of equipment such as direct plug-in transformers, and other devices that do not employ a traditional attachment plug cap.

4 of 53 1/28/2016 2:36 PM Second Revision No NFPA [ Section No ] Listing Requirements. Suspended ceiling power distribution systems and associated fittings shall be listed and labeled as in 393.6(A) or (B). (A) Listed System. Low-voltage suspended ceiling distribution systems operating at 30 volts ac or less or 60 volts dc or less shall be listed and labeled as a complete system, with the utilization equipment, power supply, and fittings as part of the same identified system. (B) Assembly of Listed Parts. A low-voltage suspended ceiling power distribution system assembled from the following parts, listed according to the appropriate function, shall be permitted: (1) Listed and labeled low-voltage utilization equipment (2) Listed and labeled Class 2 power supply (3) Listed or identified, labeled, and identified fittings, including connectors and grid rails with bare conductors (4) Listed and labeled low-voltage cables in accordance with , conductors in raceways, or other fixed wiring methods for the secondary circuit Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 18 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Thu Nov 05 13:50:57 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: The Panel agrees with public comment clarifying certain equipment be listed and labeled instead of just listed. Qualified Electrical Testing Laboratories do not consider a product to be listed unless the label has actually been applied. Additionally, the Article 100 definition for labeled includes the provision for labeling the smallest unit carton for parts which are too small to include the listing mark on the parts themselves. Labeling includes listing marks that are stamped or molded on or into the product.

Negative with Comment Hasan, Hakim All OSHA NRTLs require that, as do all Certification Organizations that are accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). It is the prerogative of those accreditation bodies to tell listing organizations how to operate their certification schemes. It would be improper for NFPA to encroach on OSHA s and SCC s prerogatives. Because all listed equipment leaves the manufacturer s facility with the authorized mark on it, the added language is wholly unnecessary NEC Panel 18 Final Ballot Results - Page 5 of 54-01/28/16

6 of 53 1/28/2016 2:36 PM Second Revision No NFPA [ Section No (E) ] (E) Controlled Receptacle Marking. All nonlocking-type, 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles that are controlled by an automatic control device, or that incorporate control features that remove power from the receptacle for the purpose of energy management or building automation, shall be permanently marked with the symbol shown in Figure 406.3(E) and the word controlled. For receptacles controlled by an automatic control device, the marking shall be permitted to be located on the installed receptacle or the receptacle cover plate face and visible after installation. Receptacles incorporating a control feature that remove power shall be marked on the receptacle face and be visible after installation. In both cases when where a multiple receptacle device is used, the required marking of the word controlled and symbol shall denote which receptacle(s) contact device(s) are automatically controlled. Figure 406.3(E) Controlled Receptacle Marking Symbol. Exception: The marking shall not be required for receptacles controlled by a wall switch that provide the required room lighting outlets as permitted by NEC Panel 18 Final Ballot Results - Page 6 of 54-01/28/16

Public Comment No. 943-NFPA [Section No (E)] Ballot Results This item has passed ballot 10 Eligible Voters 0 Not Returned 7 Affirmative All 1 Affirmative with Comments 2 Negative with Comments 0 Abstention Affirmative All Alley, Ron D. Clemente, Kurt J. Costello, Paul Gray, Bobby J. Hasan, Hakim Jamison, Jr., Jack E. McCorcle, William Ross Affirmative with Comment Wright, Randall K. Adding the word controlled is needed and clear. Not all of us understand the symbols. Negative with Comment Carpenter, Frederick L. NEMA does not support this proposed revision. The marking symbol was in the previous Code with no issues of confusion as to what the switched symbol means. Receptacle outlets are very limited in space for marking and NEC Panel 18 Final Ballot Results - Page 7 of 54-01/28/16

8 of 53 1/28/2016 2:36 PM adding descriptive words is often not possible. An international symbol was chosen to represent a switched or controlled device. Symbols are commonly used on receptacle outlets to denote suitability for other applications such as Hospital grade (Green dot), Isolated ground (Orange triangle) and Weather Resistant (WR). The symbol chosen was approved in the last code cycle as it most closely inferred the intended function. It is already in use across a wide number of installed receptacle outlets without any issues. Introducing a different marking will add confusion and present legibility issues on small receptacle faces with compound curves. Examples of more expensive receptacles with flat faces were presented to the panel, not the traditional curved face receptacles that are usually more economical. Requiring the word controlled on the receptacle outlet and not alternatively on the faceplate will limit installation options. Installers will be required to carry two types of receptacle; one with the word controlled and others without the word controlled instead of the previously allowed faceplate with the symbol. The proposed change also fails to consider the additional requirements of indicating which receptacle is controlled. On the flat surface receptacle this can be accomplished, however on the traditional receptacle there is not enough room nor flat surface to place the marking. Eliminating the previously accepted faceplate option will cause confusion and add cost where neither is needed Kurten, Charles S. This symbol was added to the 2014 NEC code (406.3E) for the purpose of supporting energy management and building automation. To date, there have been no issues or confusion as to what this internationally recognized symbol means. The intent of using an internationally recognized symbol was not to rely on any particular language (i.e. English) as a means of conveying its function. By adding the word Controlled in addition to the symbol, provides no further clarity or understanding to the user. The suggested proposal lacks any clear and concise evidence of any potential safety hazard. In today s market there are a variety of symbols marked on the face of a receptacle including: 1. An orange colored triangle denoting isolated ground; 2. A green dot denoting hospital grade 3. The letters TR denoting tamper- resistant 4. The letters WR denoting weather resistant. So why are we treating this identifier differently? How can one conclude that adding the word Controlled provides further clarity? I agree and would expect that a Code Panel member or someone familiar with the NEC understands what these markings mean. This is no different than TR in a dwelling unit or a green colored dot in a hospital patient care area installation. I would also expect a qualified installer and AHJ to be knowledgeable of the NEC. I would not expect a medical field professional such as a doctor or nurse in a hospital setting to understand what the green dot marked on the receptacle means or the store cashier at the big box store who has a cash resister plugged-into a receptacle outlet that has a orange colored triangle market on it or even a new home owner that has receptacles that are marked TR. In all cases, the user does not know or possibly has no interest in knowing. In all of these installations including the receptacle with the controlled receptacle marking symbol, there is no safety issue. I believe that education would play a larger role than adding the word Controlled as we continue to further expand energy conservation initiatives. Removing the option to mark the receptacle cover plate will limit installation options and potentially increase installation costs without any increased benefit.

11 0 of 53 1/28/2016 2:36 PM Second Revision No NFPA [ Section No (D)(4) ] (4) Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection. Where a receptacle outlet is supplied by a branch circuit that requires arc-fault circuit-interrupter protection as specified elsewhere in this Code located in any areas specified in (A) or (B), a replacement receptacle at this outlet shall be one of the following: (1) A listed outlet branch-circuit-type arc-fault circuit-interrupter receptacle (2) A receptacle protected by a listed outlet branch-circuit-type arc-fault circuit-interrupter-type receptacle (3) A receptacle protected by a listed combination-type arc-fault circuit-interrupter-type circuit breaker Exception No. 1 to 406.4(D)(4): Arc-fault circuit-interrupter protection shall not be required where all of the following apply : (1) The replacement complies with 406.4(D)(2)(b). (2) It is impracticable to provide an equipment grounding conductor as provided by (C). (3) A receptacle protected by a listed combination-type arc-fault circuit-interrupter circuit breaker is not commercially available. (4) There is no GFCI/AFCI combination dual function receptacle commercially available. Exception No. 2: (B) exception does not apply to replacement of receptacles. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 18 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Thu Nov 05 14:26:08 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: Reference to sections (A) or (B) was added to clarify where Arc-Fault Circuit Interruption is required. In Exception No. 1, sub-item 4, the word combination was replaced with dual function to eliminate the potential for confusion since the word combination when used with AFCI protection usually refers to protection against series arc and parallel arcs. The phrase all of the following apply was added to Exception No. 1 to clarify the application of the four sub-items. Additionally Exception No. 1, sub-item 3 was changed to clarify that it applies to the availability of the circuit breaker rather than the receptacle.
