I have an ITE Corporation ( I think) Breaker panel that does not have any manufacturer's label. We had a safety inspection recently and we need to put a manufacturer's label on this breaker panel. Any idea where I can get a label for it?

Here is where the guys at the factory giggle, and wait for you to order the replacement. You're not going to get a new lable, and the devil will ice skate long before you get a replacement UL lable.

The label is usually attached to the cover. If you buy a new Siemens panel cover for the same size box, it should fit. There has been no substantial change in that product in 30+ years. If they want the label to be on the box, you can probably buy the box too: but that's going to be a lot more difficult to replace ;)

Here is what I found on the subject, 2011 NEC:

110.16 Arc-Flash HazardWarning. Electrical equipment,
such as switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels,
meter socket enclosures, and motor control centers, that
are in other than dwelling units, and are likely to require
examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while
energized shall be field marked to warn qualified persons of
potential electric arc flash hazards. The marking shall be
located so as to be clearly visible to qualified persons before
examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance of
the equipment.
Informational Note

110.24 Available Fault Current.
(A) Field Marking. Service equipment in other than
dwelling units shall be legibly marked in the field with the
maximum available fault current. The field marking(s) shall
include the date the fault current calculation was performed
and be of sufficient durability to withstand the environment
involved.
(B) Modifications. When modifications to the electrical
installation occur that affect the maximum available fault
current at the service, the maximum available fault current
shall be verified or recalculated as necessary to ensure the
service equipment ratings are sufficient for the maximum
available fault current at the line terminals of the equipment.
The required field marking(s) in 110.24(A) shall be
adjusted to reflect the new level of maximum available
fault current.

408.4 Field Identification Required.
(A) Circuit Directory or Circuit Identification. Every circuit
and circuit modification shall be legibly identified as to
its clear, evident, and specific purpose or use. The identification
shall include sufficient detail to allow each circuit to
be distinguished from all others. Spare positions that contain
unused overcurrent devices or switches shall be described
accordingly. The identification shall be included in
a circuit directory that is located on the face or inside of the
panel door in the case of a panelboard, and located at each
switch or circuit breaker in a switchboard. No circuit shall
be described in a manner that depends on transient conditions
of occupancy.
(B) Source of Supply. All switchboards and panelboards
supplied by a feeder in other than one- or two-family dwellings
shall be marked to indicate the device or equipment
where the power supply originates.

408.58 Panelboard Marking. Panelboards shall be durably
marked by the manufacturer with the voltage and the
current rating and the number of phases for which they are
designed and with the manufacturer?s name or trademark in
such a manner so as to be visible after installation, without
disturbing the interior parts or wiring
