Does a Bedroom require a Bed to be called a Bedroom?

What is a Bedroom? Does a Bedroom require a Bed to be called a Bedroom? It doesn't matter now but it did formerly. Originally Arc Fault breakers were only required in bedrooms. So it would have been very important to know if a room was a bedroom versus a den, office, or parlor. Now I think code requires AFCI in all those locations. |

That was simply driven by what was written on the plan. If it was called a bedroom it needed AFCI. This was pretty much enforced by the tax collector. If the house was built with "3 bedrooms", that was what showed on the tax records and the tax record is what the real estate agent will use on the listing. (Zillow etc) Now I think code requires AFCI in all those locations. Pretty much anywhere these days |
