Revise the text to include:

(E) Controlled Receptacle Marking. All nonlocking-type, 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles that are controlled by an automatic control device or incorporate control features that remove power from the outlet for the purpose of energy management or building automation shall be marked with the symbol shown below placed on the controlled receptacle outlet where visible after installation or have clearly legible marking in letters not less than 6 mm (? in.) high reading ?Controlled?. The label shall comply with 110.21(B).

[Icon is a vertical line with its lower end at the center of a broken circle. It is the "standard" European on/off symbol"]

5 Statement of Problem and Substantiation.

Allow these receptacles to be marked with text for both retrofit work and new work when specially marked receptacles are not available and the electrician does not have stickers with the designated icon and lacks artistic skills.
