Therefore I say do it, for three reasons: 1. "Treatment room" argument, as you have pointed out. 2. Future proofing, as above. 3. Opportunity sounds like it is there now, may not be there later. Regards, Robert ________________________________ From: Porter, John R (DHHS) [mailto:john.por...@dhhs.tas.gov.au] Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2012 15:57 To: bmelist@bme.asn.au Subject: [bmelist] Podiatry Rooms Body-protected Sorry for pestering people just want a yes or no Podiatry rooms do they need to be Body-protected we have just had a new area built that contains Podiatry Rooms they weren't wired for Body-protected the Biomedical manager wants me to get them upgraded however AS/NZS 2500 would indicate that they possibly don't fit into this category where as AS/NZS 3003:2011 clearly indicates Treatment rooms and I would say that these are Treatment Rooms. Thoughts?
