I'm certain I saw *somewhere* in the 2005 NEC the requirement that any exhaust
fan, light, or fan/light combo, installed within a shower or over a bathtub
must be protected by a GFCI -- but I can't find the specific article. Somebody
help me out here, please.
Second question: in which edition of the Code did that provision first appear?
TIA

It would be news to me ... but I will wait for a cite.

551.53(B)
That section has a change bar -- suggesting to me that it is new or changed for
2005.

Thanks, but... Article 551 applies to recreational vehicles. I'm pretty sure I
saw something requiring it in homes, too, but I'm darned if I can find it.
Maybe I was just having a brain fart...

what difference does it make? I'd ASSume that you have a GFCI recep in
the bathroom anyway, easy enough to move the wires around in the wall
box and seems like a good idea to me. Or is your GFCI not in the same
box as your wall switches?
