Have a question about certification/rating/serial number labels. First some background. Many moon ago we had 7 or more labels on the back of our products. I consolidated all into one label, pre-printed with all except model, serial, rating, manufacture date information. Variable information is thermally printed on label at shipping when the unit is packed.
The information includes: Mfr. name/address Mfr. Date Model Serial Rating Laser Safety Info FCC/DOC statement Fuse Rating, symbol, caution statement CE, CSA, TUV, etc. marks It is put on the rear of each system at floor level. On some products, the label gets buried by other equipment upon installation. The label is located where it is because it is next to the appliance inlet, fuse holder, voltage selector, whatever. It is not on a removable panel (all 4 sides of unit are designed to be removed for service, etc.). The issue: service people cannot read the model / serial / mfr. date on buried labels. We would like to remove model / serial / mfr. date information from the above described label and put it on a second label placed at more easily accessed location. That is all that would be on this second label and that information would be removed from the first label. We do not want to duplicate any information because of the risk of getting it wrong in one location or the other (re-configuring products in test is a common occurrence here). Is anyone aware of any requirement in ITE or Laser Safety standards that prohibit what we want to do? Any requirement that model / serial / mfr. date needs to appear at / near / with any of the other information described? The only locational requirements I have seen are ratings at mains connection and fuse info at fuse holders. Looking forward to your comments...
