- quesera 7mo agoIn the US, I regularly see bathrooms and kitchens without GFCI. I looked up the history: 1961 GFCI invented by a professor at UC Berkeley 1971 Added to NEC code for outdoor outlets 1981 … bathrooms 1987 … kitchens 2005 … laundry rooms and unfinished basements 2014 … crawlspaces, around pools and hot tubs Lots of bathrooms haven't been renovated (or at least not with permits) in the last 45 years, apparently!
