Protection diodes with ADP7142

Question

When we use a linear regulator, I think some diodes are connected to it to protect from reverse voltage and over voltage.

I'm considering using ADP7142, but no description about these diodes is found on the ADP7142 datasheet.
Does it mean that these diodes are unnecessary, or necessary like as the other regulator?

Hi Yuki, 
 There are ESD protection diodes on all our ADP7142 LDOs by default. You'll be able to verify them via diode test on all the pins. 
 That said, the ADP7142 does not have active reverse protection circuitry (unlike ADP7102/3/5) and therefore you'll need additional external components to add this feature on your circuit.
