With the 2017, there has been added language to the NEC in 408.4(B) that reads as follows?
(B) Source of Supply. All switchboards, switchgear, and panelboards
supplied by a feeder(s) in other than one- or two-family
dwellings shall be permanently marked to indicate each device
or equipment where the power originates. The label shall be
permanently affixed, of sufficient durability to withstand the
environment involved, and not handwritten.
So the question is, what would you allow that meets the code?
1) Is a P-Touch label indoors acceptable to you?
2) Is a P-Touch label outdoors acceptable to you?
3) Would you require engraved plates?
4) How would you verify that the label was made for exterior use?
