NFPA 30

Can someone please help me find where in NFPA 70 it directs you to use NFPA 30 for hazardouls laboratory locations? Is it somewhere in article 500?

... Is it somewhere in article 500?

Good guess. [Section 500.4 (B) IN No.2] However, since it is in an Informational Note (IN), it is technically nonmandatory. But you would be hard put to ignore it without a very strong argument for a different basis.

NFPA 45, Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals is the actual laboratory document. [Also referenced in Section 500.4 (B) IN No.2]. NFPA 45 Sections 2.1 and 2.2 have mandatory references including both NFPA 30 and 70.
