2014 GFCI Changes
Will the dedicated dishwasher circuit,,next year,be required to be on gfci anyway.and the dedicated laundry circuit too?
Note this is not the 2-20 amp gfci,-seperate dedicated countertop circuits.which can't be used for disposal/dishwasher .

I have seen that the DW will require GFI protection under the 2014. I don't remember seeing anything about the laundry other than AFCI.

Isn't it already required that a dedicated line to the dishwasher be GFCI protected at either the wall outlet or the electric panel? Or is that 2014 proposed changes?
Anyways, I think it would be a good idea to have a GFCI protected circuit breaker for a dedicated line to the dishwasher. Do you agree?

Kitchen countertop receptacles have required gfi protection for many years. Dishwashers do not currently need gfi protection. That is changing with the 2014 NEC.
I don't see the need for the change.

Re: 210-8(D)
Not too confusing. Hard wired circuit would be a more appropriate description.
This would include a receptacle outlet or a hard wired outlet for a dishwasher.

At least not to the folks who update the NEC.
