Hi Rich, The only place I ever ran into this req't was for German approvals. The attached graphic image was derived from a third-generation copy of a page from some German standard. I then cleaned it up and used it for a TUV Rheinland approval. (I do recall some discussions regarding which half of the house the chimney belonged on. The attached file is believed to be correct, since it was used to layout the markings label, but do check with your test lab to be certain.)
Regards, Art Michael
