(1) Bathrooms

(2) Garages and also accessory buildings that have a floor located at or below grade level not intended as habitable rooms and limited to storage areas, work areas, and areas of similar use

(3) Outdoors
Understood.

Previously there was an exemption allowing a dedicated single receptical outlet. It would need to be at least 6ft away from a water source.

Some areas retained this exemption when removed from the code. Don't know local codes here.

...

210.8 & 547.5. “ GFCI protection shall not be required for a single receptacle supplying a dedicated load and marked “not GFCI protected”.
