29CFR1910.37 would probably be the 'root cause' for any lighting requirements in an ANSI standard, but is incomplete and ambiguous. Therefore, henceforth, and heretofore; per the largess of our federal government, the offering of 29CFR1926.56 is scoped for illumination of the workplace.
It should be noted that the Peoples' Republic of Kalifornia has additional lighting requirements, most of which will be disallowed in a few years by our robot overlords. Brian From: Doug Powell [mailto:doug...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2017 8:43 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Interior lighting for large control panels All, I just finished reviewing older editions of UL 508 (2005) and UL 508A (2003) for any requirements specifically for interior lighting of large cabinets. This would be for cabinets large enough to be a container with personnel doors. I do see requirements for how to implement "maintenance lighting" if provided but not a requirement specifically stating maintenance lighting "shall be provided". Also, if the latest editions of the UL standards now include sections on risk assessment, I can see how a maintenance person who is inadvertently entrapped (e.g. wind closed the door) would then could become disoriented and egress lighting would be important to mitigate the hazard. Any guidance on mandatory lighting requirements for maintenance is greatly appreciated.
