Re: [EFM] Environmental classes




Piers,

Are there classifications for "Hot Humid", "Extremely Hot", and "Extremely 
Humid"?  These conditions exist in parts of the Southern USA, and almost 
all tropical environments.  There are other "hazardous" environments as 
well that might need to be considered.

Thank you,
Roy Bynum
