Wiring a GFCI to another non-GFCI outlet?

[robbm]

We are using external door-mounted outlets on a control panel for our system, they are non-GFCI general use receptacles. A customer has asked us to wire the power for these outlets from the GFCI receptacle within the control panel, in an effort to "make them a GFCI". Since the reset button won't be located on the exact outlets that are protected, can these outlets be labeled as "GFCI". I've said no, but the customer wants us to do it anyways, and I'm concerned with liability of labeling it as such or even wiring it at all.
Anyone have any thoughts? I already have this question in to my UL inspector, but thought I'd ask for some insight here as well.

Thanks in advance.

Originally my home had one GFCI receptacle that was the first outlet on a circuit in the master bath. The other ground fault receptacles are daisy chained off this one GFCI outlet. This covers the balance of the master bath, kitchen, shop area in the garage and an outdoor receptacle.

Subsequently I added another dedicated GFCI receptacle outdoor receptacle on a not GFCI circuit.

I hope that both situations comply with the NEC.

If the downstream receptacles are "throughfed" through the GFCI receptacle, not just pigtailed off the circuit, then they are indeed GFCI protected. I don't know that labelling is required, except to instruct the users where the reset button is located should it trip. But then it is always better to know why it tripped before resetting it. The installation is code compliant, (well NEC anyway).

EEjamie is right. I believe some form of labeling such as "GFCI protected) is required, even if not would be a good idea.

The only time that the NEC requires a receptacle that is protected by an upstream GFCI device is where a grounding type receptacle has been used to replace an old two wire receptacle in a location where an EGC is not available. 406.3(D)(3)(c). There is nothing in the code that would prohibit putting a "GFCI protected" label on any receptacle that is so protected. It is a common installation where the "feed through" provisions of a GFCI receptacle or a GFCI breaker is used to provide GFCI protection to remote receptacles.
