Default Dish washer and garbage disposal

On Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:24:05 -0500, wrote in


That GFCI on the dish washer is a new requirement in the 2014 code.


Just curious: so dishwashers have been installed without GFCI for 60
or so years. Now they need to have GFCI. What has changed to require
the code intrusion? Are a lot of people suddenly getting electrocuted
or have a lot of people always been getting electrocuted and the code
writers just deciding to do something about it?

Or were the code writers just bored this year?
