1. Listing and markings — 600.3, 600.4
- Fixed, mobile or portable signs, section signs, outline lighting, PV-powered signs and retrofit kits are listed and labeled and installed per the listing. Field-installed skeleton tubing need not be listed when installed per the Code; outline lighting built from listed luminaires wired per Chapter 3 need not be listed as a system.
- Markings: manufacturer, input voltage and current; retrofitted signs are marked that the illumination system was replaced (with the kit provider's and installer's identifier) and, for tubular LED lamps in existing sockets, a 110.21(B) label warning not to install fluorescent lamps; incandescent lampholders show the maximum lamp wattage in letters at least ¼ in. high, visible during relamping; every sign is marked that field wiring and installation instructions are required (except cord-connected portable signs).
