Hi all!

I´m trying to clarify when must be used an ESD / Conductive floor in a Dust handling plant rated Class II Div 2. The plant is intended to make pulverized sugar and sugar flovoured blends.

I found some recommendations in ANSI 20.20, but I think it can not be applied for our plant.

Can anybody recommend some related codes or literature that help us to clarify when is it a MUST to use an ESD floor to avoid static electricity damage.

Thanks
