What is the 36'' rule ? Does it apply to USA ? I know the 6ft rule.
I thought an outlet had to be located no more than 3 feet from either
side of a door ? Or not ?

There is no placement rule for outlets that specifically mentions
doors.


Yes, there is. NEC 210.52(A)(1) defines required outlet placement within a
"wall space", and 210.52(A)(2)(1) explicitly states that "wall spaces" are
delimited by doorways and other similar openings.
