(a)
Manufacturer's name or trademark.
(b)
Name of unit, model, and serial or military part number.
(c)

3.4.5.2 Information plates. Except for illuminated plates for darken-ship operation (see 3.4.5.5), plates
for stating the functions of manual control devices and visual indicators, and to show writing and
schematic diagrams, operating instructions, lists of tools, warning, caution, and the like, shall be in
accordance with types A, B, C, F, or H of MIL-DTL-15024. Where the need to change the information
from time to time exists, the plates may be held in slide-out frames. Type F plates shall be laminated,
using transparent polyester sheets conforming to type G of MIL-I-631, treated, bonded, and sealed to
each side of the printed sheet. Edge sealing alone is not acceptable. The thickness of the polyester
sheet shall be at least 0.04 millimeter (mm). The overall thickness of the plate shall be at least 0.25 mm.

"WARNING": Where non-observance would result in personal injury or loss of life, whether or not
damage to the equipment would occur.
(b)
"CAUTION": Where non-observance would result in damage or destruction of the equipment or
inadvertently shut down the propulsion of plant.
3.4.5.4 High voltage. Enclosures containing potentials in excess of 500 volts alternating current (Vac)
root mean square (rms) or 500 volts direct current (Vdc) shall be identified by plates. The plates shall be
marked to indicate the hazard which may be present upon removal. The markings shall be as permanent
as the normal life expectancy of the equipment on which they are affixed. The markings shall be in
accordance with ANSI Z535.3, ANSI Z535.4, or ANSI Z535.5 and contain the single word "DANGER", the
descriptive words "High Voltage" and the maximum voltage applicable (e.g., High Voltage 550 VAC).
