Which NEC designation addresses GFCI protections for office bathrooms?

• A. 210.8(B)(1)
• B. 210.8(B)(3)
• C. 210.8(A)(2)
• D. 210.8(A)(1)

Answer: (A)

GFCI requirements are organized by location type in the NEC. Office bathrooms are not dwelling units, so they fall under the non-dwelling section. The section that specifically covers receptacles in office and similar spaces, including office bathrooms, is 210.8(B)(1). This is why it’s the best match for office bathrooms. The other sections pertain to dwelling-unit locations or other non-dwelling locations that don’t address office bathrooms as directly.
