Description / Abstract:
This voluntary standard establishes minimum requirements for the
design, installation, operation and maintenance of electrically
heated process equipment in order to minimize electrical hazards
and prevent fires that may occur in combustible tanks, tank liners
and drying equipment. It is intended to cover both liquid and gas
(e.g., air) process heaters used in the manufacture of printed
wiring boards (PWBs) and printed wiring assemblies (PWAs). Minimum
requirements are indicated by the use of the term ‘‘shall.''
Please note: This standard does not purport to address all
safety issues associated with its use. Users should establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to standard's
use.
