exist, the General Standard should not be used alone. Special care is required
in applying the General Standard to equipment for which no Particular Standard
exists.

The above Standards may also require the use of applicable supplements and
amendments.

MARKINGS:

Equipment shall be plainly marked in a permanent manner in a place where the
details will be readily visible after installation with the following:

• submittor's identification;
• model designation;
• complete electrical ratings; (in V, A, VA or W only if power factor is
  greater than 0.9)
• required electrical rating of primary overcurrent protection;
• fuse ratings;
• classification symbols to indicate double insulation (where applicable),
  type of moisture protection and degree of protection from electrical shock;
• date code or equivalent;
• installation instructions;
• CSA Mark with indicator "US"

Additional markings (caution or warning where applicable) and/or documentation
