Under what condition are mirrors and glass panels not considered a hazardous location?

Mirrors and glass panels are not considered hazardous when they are mounted on a surface with continuous backing support and can also be safely hung in any setting. Continuous backing support provides stability to the mirror or glass, reducing the likelihood of breakage or detachment, which minimizes potential hazards.

Additionally, the notion of hanging mirrors and glass panels in a variety of settings suggests that their installation can be completed safely without posing a risk. This broad application indicates that the safety of these reflective surfaces is highly dependent on their method of installation and the structural support they receive.

Although attachments using double-sided tape may provide some level of security, they do not ensure the same structural integrity and support that a continuous backing would. Therefore, the safest conditions under which mirrors and glass panels are deemed non-hazardous involve proper support and versatility in installation.
