2001 edition of NFPA 40 (Storage and Handling of Cellulose Nitrate Film), chapter 4 says: All electrical wiring and equipment shall comply with NFPA 70, National electrical Code, for Class 1, Group D, Division 2 locations. The temperature rating of electrical equipment shall be Class T6".
I found Appleton lighting fixture that is Class T6. But, have no success for other equipment such as snap switches and receptacles. I have spoke to Appleton and they do not rate their receptacles etc with temperature class.
Is temperature rating applicable to switches and receptacles? If yes, where can I find them?
Chapter 9 of NFPA 40 syas, "The requirements of Chapter 4 also shall apply to nitrate motion picture film laboratories." Film lab equipment has special outlet requirements such as isolated ground type receptacles, which I am not sure available.

Any help in this matter is appriciated.

Thank you,
