Is there a standard for Hazardous Location Static Grounding?
Is there a standard for Hazardous Location Static Grounding?
(OP)
I need a practical standard to refer to for grounding Static in a Hazardous Location. Ideally something that suggests wire type, wire size, distance to objects, number of grounding rods etc. NFPA77 has an appendix that has some pictures but no real recommendations. My clients are looking for something more than “we like to see kind” of advise.

Another "introductory" would be APR RP 540 which covers general electrical installations. It has a fairly comprehensive bibliography/reference section.

My previous employer was a major contributor and I was a principal reviewer of many of the PIP standards. I have since lost access to them though. They are still excellent and generally well accepted.

Thanks again to rbalex. I doubt I'll be shelling out $1000 any time soon but the I have looked through the NEC it's not that diferent from what the Canadian code says. (The border never gets in the way of good practice). Thanks.
