The Electrical Code

210.60 Guest Rooms, Guest Suites, Dormitories, and Similar Occupancies. This article refers back to 210.52(A) and (D) for cooking outlets as well. (B) 2 outlets need to be accessible, not behind anything. Also outlets behind the bed will not make contact with any plugs attached to those outlets. I have linked that article. I can only suspect that they took less time on this article because the rest of the code needs to also be involved in the developing of these structures. And any contractor that is involved in these projects are held accountable by local person having jurisdiction.

As time goes on I will add more to this article, because they deal with our children. I was involved in these types of construction projects, and dormitories are built to have zero probability of a fire spreading from one dorm room to another. Nothing can be done about students living in those spaces experimenting with And from my experience the men and women who participate in these projects are held to a higher standard from the word go.

(A) “General. Guest rooms or guest suites in hotels, motels, sleeping rooms in dormitories, and similar occupancies shall have receptacle outlets installed in accordance with 210.52(A) and (D). Guest rooms or guest suites provided with permanent provisions for cooking shall have receptacle outlets installed in accordance with all of the applicable rules in 210.52.

(B) Receptacle Placement. In applying the provisions of 210.52(A), the total number of receptacle outlets shall not be less than the minimum number that would comply with the provisions of that section. These receptacle outlets shall be permitted to be located conveniently for permanent furniture layout. At least two receptacle outlets shall be readily accessible. Where receptacles are installed behind the bed, the receptacle shall be located to prevent the bed from contacting any attachment plug that may be installed or the receptacle shall be provided with a suitable guard.”
