Here is the text from the document I have that was published on the web
at
http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/phenix/project_info/safety/publish-info/Electrical_review.htm.
I have not been able to locate this since I printed it out! I printed it
2/6/98 and it was dated 11/9/97.

The title was \"Electrical Design Safety Concerns\"

*Anything that is specifically listed as approved for your particular
application in the RHIC SEAPPM 1.5.0.1 is ok.*

*All potentially combustible parts might fuel a fire. You need to tell
the committee what your circuit boards, etc. are made of (provide MSDSs
for the fire protection engineer). Choice of cabling (including fiber
optic cabling) is an area of concern. You will need to specify,
preferably in advance of a review, how much cable you will be using,
will it be in cable tray or conduit or raceway, horizontal, vertical,
what is its NEC flammability rating and/or its UL code. It is your
responsibility to obtain the flammability information from the
manufacturer. Cable is not usually \"acceptable\" or \"unacceptable\".
Rather, it is acceptable under conditions of use and not for others. The
concern is greatest for large quantities of cabling that is bundled
together. The hazard is decreased if the cable is in a conduit or
raceway rather than a cable tray. The table listed in the SEAPPM gives
uses that are definitely ok. Unfortunately, they don\'t apply to some of
our cabling. Rules apply to both internal and external cabling.*

*Note: Much of what we refer to as \"cable tray\" is not cable tray
according to the NEC (National Electrical Code) definition, and the
distinction can be important in getting approval for cabling. Cabling
running in open trays is supposed to be rated at least CL2. Even CL2
rating is no guarantee of acceptance. You need to let the committee
review it. VW1 is not considered acceptable for open trays. In a
raceway. which is closed, or inside a detector, VW1 may be ok. It needs
a case by case evaluation. Cable trays and raceway should be
non-combustable. The tray or raceway itself needs UL listing or approval
by the committee.*

*The committee will also need to be sure you do not have exposed
components that could be a shock hazard (\>10 V AC or \> 50 V DC and at
least 10 ma or 10 Joules of stored energy) or a flash hazard (low
voltage but high current \>10 A)*

Now, from the RHIC Safety and Environmental Administrative policy and
Procedures Manual (SEAPPM) Dated Oct 30, 1996
