Additional requirements for installing receptacles in dwelling unit countertops and work surfaces can be found in Article _____ .

• A. 202
• B. 406
• C. 210
• D. 430

Answer: (B)

Receptacle outlets and their installation standards are defined in Article 406. This article sets the requirements for how receptacles must be constructed, listed, protected, and installed, including features like tamper resistance, grounding, GFCI protection where required, and general mounting rules. When considering receptacles specifically on countertops and other dwelling-unit work surfaces, the detailed criteria that govern the receptacle hardware and its protections are found here, which is why this article is the appropriate reference for those “additional requirements.” Other articles cover broader electrical rules or different topics (for example, 430 deals with motors, and 210 covers branch-circuit requirements and wiring provisions but not the hardware specifics of receptacles).
