A visual indication that an electrical receptacle is hospital grade is that the receptacle
A.
has a label.
B.
is tamper-resistant.
C.
has a green dot.
D.
is red.
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Hospital-grade receptacles, as defined in UL 498 and required under NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code, must be marked with a green dot. This identifies receptacles tested for durability, grounding reliability, and retention force.
Red outlets are often tied to emergency power, but that is separate from the “hospital grade” designation.
