Bill, Most standards, including IEC 60664-3, only recognize conformal coating for pollution control. Pollution Degree 1, by itself often buys you a smaller spacing.
In to use a coating as insulation control and still smaller spacings, you need to use a qualified encapsulant. -doug Douglas E. Powell Corporate Compliance Dept. Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.

Premise: EN61010-1:2001 On a PCB, where adjacent surface traces do not provide double insulation between haz-live and accessible circuits, is the spot application of conformal coating to the traces acceptable as supplementary insulation?
