See my post titled Intrinsic Safety

I did. Thanks.

It appears that the laws involved pertain to manufacturers
and commercial operations. So, I think none would
govern use of a cell phone while gassing up.

I agree. If Intrinsic Safety rules were applied, automobiles
would be banned from gasoline stations. This would not only
eliminate the 35 refueling fires that occur every year, but
would also eliminate most of the 50,000 traffic accident
fatalities...
