Jim, the IRC does not apply in Florida, it's the Florida Building Code, based on the International Codes (including the IRC) with changes. Here (in Florida) the NEC rules over the Electrical sections of the IRC have been removed and reserved, with the first one making reference to the NEC.
Can you comment on what this covers? I am sure the NEC must go into a little more detail than the IRC.
The NEC does not give that exception.
'I would think' (dangerous) that "switching devices" would mean time clocks, automatic controllers, and the like.
