Like most regulatory issues the answer is YES and NO.
Therefore it is dangerous and extremely misleading (to many lurkers) to apply

It is gets THAT HOT and is strapped to you waist (hot day - sweat-shirt)
and your are up a ladder then you'll have more immediate problems than
causing a building fire
Please post the trade name so that we can all buy one for someone we
