Hi Everyone, this may be a long post. Where I work we have a area called the clean room It's a building made of laminated plywood that sit's inside the main bldg.they use a 300 gal. tote bin filled with 70% alcohol and 30%dionized water.that get's pumped from a pump that sit's outside the clean rm. and goes to a filling station in the room into 1 gal bottles and then to a capper then bagged and heat sealed. My question is who actually has the authority to classify that rm .I believe it should be class 1 div 2. I am fighting management on this ,They say it doesn;t have to be EP and I believe the don't know what they are talking about. I don't know the guy that wired this rm up before I got there but they have multistrip outlets daisey chained right where they process the product non e p lights the room has forced mechanical ventilation. Sorry for the long post,but I believe it's a disaster waiting to happen. Thank you so much again for any input. Ed
