Submitter:
Larry Covelli, Lighthouse Electrical Contractor Inc.
Recommendation:
Revise text to read as follows:
Every circuit and circuit modification shall be legibly identified at to its clear,
evident, and specific purpose or use. In the language used in that household or
facility public or private.
Substantiation:
When a circuit is identified, it should be in the language
spoken in the household or facility public or private. This is a serious safety
issue. If you can not read what is written on a panelboard or any circuit
directory. The potential for life or limb is current.
Panel Meeting Action: Reject
Panel Statement:
The language of the proposal is unenforceable in most
situations, as the language of the household may be unknown (i.e., spec. house
with no buyer). Additionally, tenants of a residence are a dynamic factor, with
no way to anticipate the native language of future residents. Introducing
language as a variable in such marking requirements does not increase the
safety of the installation.
