Is there a required spacing for counter-top receptacles in non-residential kitchens according to NEC 2002?

I know that Article 210.52(C) speaks to the location and spacing of counter-top receptacles in the kitchens and dining rooms of dwelling units. Is the same article applicable to lunch rooms in offices, teaching/test kitchens, restaurants or bakeries? (All such installations have been handled by my firm.)

Thanks

(Background: I work for a building services firm in Barbados. The local authorities are in the process of adopting NEC 2002.)

The placement of receptacles in nondwelling unit kitchens is not covered by the NEC. It is a design issue. Please note that all 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles in nondwelling unit kitchens must have GFCI protection per 210.8(B)(3).
