Scott,

According to 950, you are allowed to make this label change.

Please note per 1.7.1, if your equipment is considered "FIXED" the 
markings (old and new) "shall be discernible after the equipment has 
been installed as in normal use".

Regards,

>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...
