Hello Group, Our company is working on a small laboratory device, about the size of a computer tower, that contains, in addition to electronic components, about 1 gallon (3.8 liter) of a solvent chemical. The solvent can be one or a combination of several different chemicals such as acetone, methanol, ethanol, etc..
These chemicals and/or vapors are flammable and could possibly cause a fire or explosion under the right conditions. Protection against the ignition or explosion of a flammable liquid is not directly covered in the EN61010 safety standard (or not as I have found). Is there another standard that addresses these requirements more specifically? Does anyone with experience in this area have some advice or a summary of requirements they could give me? Thank you for your time, Brian Kunde
