Warning Labels

Most equipment and electrical products are required to be marked with safety-related information. These markings can include warnings, hazards, cautions, electrical ratings and installation instructions. Permanence of markings ensures that the labels adhere to the application surface and the text will remain legible.
Labels display a wide range of information regarding the use of a given product as well as it’s safe installation. For example, a label’s information can warn users about the risk of electrical shock under certain conditions or can provide information about a product’s electrical rating. Some labels provide information about how to properly use a product as well as the environment a product may be used in.
