Question:
Good morning, Charlie, our shop is wiring a new office and repair garage. The repair shop focuses on tune-ups and fluid changes, meeting the definition of a “Minor Repair Garage”. There is an office space adjacent to the repair area. Is the adjacent office space also considered a Classified Location? Thanks, Bill Jackson
A
Answer:
Hello Bill, thank you for participating in the CQD. Applying Table 511.3(C) the spaces adjacent to a Minor Repair Garage are generally not considered a Classified Location. There is likely an engineered system that creates positive pressure, or some type of air dam, that prevents the flammable vapors from traveling to the office area.
