Vijay,

1. Remove all LCDs. You are left with rectangular openings. 
2. Evaluate if you meet the fire enclosure requirements with LCDs removed.
3. If you meet the fire enclosure requirements with LCDs removed, I would
say that the LCDs, other than their intent to display, are serving to
protect a user to reach within the enclosure and access hazardous voltage
and/or energy parts and/or mechanical moving parts.  In this case, the LCDs
are part of the electrical/mechanical enclosure and may be rated
FLAMMABILITY CLASS HB or better.
4.  Regarding RTI, a Heating Test is conducted under normal operating
conditions. The RTI of the particular plastic should not be exceed during
this test taking into account the maximum specified operating ambient
temperature (Tmra) assigned to the equipment.  For equipment rated Tmra 50
deg C, and a polymeric part RTI rated 80 deg C, the  maximum temperature
rise allowed during the Heating Test is 80-50 = 30 degC.

hello Group:

i have 8 LCD displays inside a box. if there is an outer metal enclosure,
does internal enclosure (which is plastic at each LCD display) need to be
V-0, does it need an RTI above the operation temperature? where should i
find guideline about V-0 and RTI requirements for particular equipment?

i would appreciate any response.

thank you in advance.
