(B) Plaque. A flat, thin piece of metal, wood, or non-conductive, UV, rain, corrosion, and ice resistant material with a sustainable temperature rating from negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit to 130 degrees Fahrenheit or better. For the ambient temperature of the environment to which it is installed, with engraved writing on it that is used especially as a reminder or warning of something. A plaque shall be designed to be installed by adhesive means or mechanical fasteners, as determined by the environment where to be permanently installed. A plaque shall also be known as a Permanent Plaque, Directory, or substitute for a label, excluding circuit directories.

(2) Section 110.12 (B) Integrity of Electrical Equipment and Connections. This section has been modified to allow for the reuse of existing electrical equipment, rather than requiring new replacements when certain conditions are met. This section has been modified to read: 110.12 (B) Integrity of Electrical Equipment and Connections. Internal parts of electrical equipment, including busbars, wiring terminals, insulators, and other surfaces, shall not be damaged or contaminated by foreign materials such as paint, plaster, cleaners, abrasives, or corrosive residues. There shall be no damaged parts that may adversely affect safe operation or mechanical strength of the equipment such as parts that are broken; bent; cut; or deteriorated by corrosion, chemical action or overheating. Damaged materials, equipment, appliances, and devices shall not be reused unless such elements have been reconditioned, tested, and placed in good and proper working condition and approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, or by the manufacturer of the equipment. Electrical equipment damaged by natural or man-made events shall be reused only as recommended by the manufacturer of such equipment.
