Contents 510.1 Scope 510.2 General

510.1 Scope
Articles 511 through 517 cover occupancies or parts of occupancies that are or may be hazardous because of atmospheric concentrations of flammable liquids, gases, or vapors, or because of deposits or accumulations of materials that may be readily ignitible.

Some of the requirements contained in Articles 511 through 517 have been extracted from other NFPA codes and standards. For example, Tables 514.3(B)(1), 514.3(B)(2), and 515.3 are extracted from NFPA 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, and NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. The tables were developed by the NFPA Technical Committees responsible for those documents. The documents were developed through the same process as the NEC; however, the National Electrical Code Committee is not directly responsible for the technical content of extracted material. NFPA publishes a number of standards and recommended practices that provide requirements or guidance on the classification of hazardous locations in specific occupancies. Information and copies of standards may be obtained from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169-7471.

Informational Note: Text that is followed by a reference in brackets has been extracted from NFPA 30A-2008, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages. Only editorial changes were made to the extracted text to make it consistent with this Code.
