THE PIONEER

Where conduit is installed, the applicable requirements of NFPA 70, Clause 9 of IEC 61892-7: 2019, or Clause 7 of IEC of 60092-502: 1999 must be followed. The conduit connection to an elbow which leads to lighting is broken and was being "sealed" with electrical tape, creating a potential for a source of ignition in a hazardous zone. Repair conduit IAW applicable standards to ensure it is properly sealed and not creating a potential hazard in the hazardous zone. Provide proof of repairs to the MI.
