[RE-wrenches] reflective label maker?

[billbrooks7 at sbcglobal.net]

Chris,

 

Where sign requirements (whether in NEC, IBC, IFC, IRC, etc) have specific
requirements for specific signs that may not agree with the basic ANSI
rules, the code requirement applies. Where no color requirement accompanies
the sign, then the ANSI color designations would be most appropriate. The
NEC specifically cites the ANSI standard which provides some additional
legitimacy to the ANSI standard.

 

To be clear, the ANSI standard must be cited by an enforceable code to have
any teeth at all.

 

Bill.

Thanks Bill, are there other areas where we should look only to the NEC for
coloring? Right now, we are using white lettering on a red back ground and
the NEC language for all labels (mainly because that's the stock we
initially purchased and still have it).  I think there are: Danger, Warning,
Caution, and Notice.  Chris

Chris,

 

Just to add a fine point of clarification, 690.31(G)(4) requires that the
"warning" sign on conduit be Reflective, Capitalized, with white lettering
on Red background. This intentionally does not match the ANSI color schemes
for signs. The NEC overrules ANSI in this case.

 

If AHJs require that these labels be orange, these signs will not officially
be compliant with the NEC. These signs were in the fire code and were
removed and put into the NEC to keep all electrical requirements in the NEC.

 

Bill.

We have been using DuroLabel Pro for over a year. Very good support. The
negative is having to change colors if AHJs are going to want to follow the
ANSI color requirements, but that is probably true for most printers. The
labels are durable. I made some for my oyster farm to id equipment as an
experiment. They have been submerged in salt water for 5 months and don't
appear to be deteriorating. Chris
