The operation and maintenance of paint spray operations shall also comply with the following:
(a) All spray areas shall be kept as free from the accumulations of deposits of combustible residues as practical with cleaning conducted daily.
(b) Scrapers, spuds, or other such tools used for cleaning purposes shall be of nonsparking material.
(c) Residue scrapings and debris contaminated with residue shall be immediately removed from the premises and properly disposed of.
(d) The use of flammable solvents for cleaning operations shall be restricted to those having a flashpoint of not less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit closed cup tester except that solvents with flashpoints not less than those normally used in spraying operations may be used for cleaning spray nozzles and auxiliary equipment, provided such cleaning is conducted inside spray booths and ventilating equipment is operating during cleaning periods.
(e) Spray booths shall not be alternately used for different types of coating materials, where the combination of the materials may be conducive to spontaneous ignition, unless all deposits of the first used material are removed from the booth and exhaust ducts prior to spraying with the second coating material.
(Prior code § 129.1-58)
Motor vehicle undercoating operations shall comply with the following provisions:
(a) When certified that the premises comply with all applicable provisions of Title 14M and when undercoating materials and solvents having a flashpoint not lower than 100 degrees Fahrenheit closed cup testers are used, motor vehicle undercoating spray operations may be exempt from this Code relating to spraying operations on the express approval of the Fire Commissioner.
(b) Undercoating spray operations not conforming with paragraph (a) of this section shall be subject to all applicable provisions of this Code.
(Prior code § 129.1-59; Amend Coun. J. 5-18-16, p. 24131, § 146; Amend Coun. J. 10-7-20, p. 21791, Art. VI, § 42)

(b) Electrostatic apparatus shall be equipped with automatic controls which will operate without time delay, to disconnect the power supply to the high voltage transformer and to signal the operator under any of the following conditions:
1. Stoppage of the ventilating fans or failure of the ventilating equipment from any cause;
2. Stoppage of the conveyor carrying goods past the high-voltage grid;
3. Occurrence of a ground or of an imminent ground at any point on the high-voltage system;
4. Reduction of the clearance below that specified in Section 15-24-690.
