Currently NEMA only defines Type 9 Enclosures for Class II Hazardous
Locations. In contrast, Dusttight enclosures are referenced in NEMA 250
solely for Nonhazardous Locations.(Table 1) This conflicts with NFPA 70 Articles
500 & 502 in addition to the OSHA HazLoc regulation 1910.307 where
dusttight enclosures are compliant in Class II Division 2 HazLoc.
Would clarification in future revisions of NEMA 250 assist stakeholders
in providing consistency with NFPA 70 Articles 500 & 502 and the
OSHA HazLoc regulation regarding dusttight enclosures in Class II
Division 2 HazLoc?
