Hello everybody,
I'm searching for documentation about the requirements of dissipativ painting for steel baseplates and steel deck covering in hazardous area (especially the IIC Zone) , to avoid the risk of static electricity build-up and discharge:
- Can the static electrity really build-up on the painted surface of baseplates and deck covers, even if these materials are in steel and grounded? I think there is rules on painting thickness for IIC zone (~200 microns) -> if this criteria is respected, is a dissipativ painting required (is it applicable to steel supports, baseplates...etc?)
- Do you have some documentation (norms, eégulations) about this subject to transmit? By reading the IEC-60079 and NFPA-77 I don't find any requirements about dissipativ painting for supports, cover plates, baseplates...etc when not in contact with electrical device.
Thank you if you could help me
