Not that I think it's a big deal, or that an HI should get into a pissing match with an electrician ... just playing devils advocate here. And an HI will usually defer to the electrician as the "expert" and leave it at that.

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...

Hey Guys ( sorry dale..I would have jumped in sooner but something about a broken femur and in the hospital for few days slowed me down...lol )

I really do not have a problem with the labels as long as they can be read when the front cover is on.

A good case of atleast it IS labeled.....how many do you find that are not....I am sure they are talking about combustible material within the enclosure....I would not be overly concerned about it....bad thing is since the breakers give off heat...chances are the labels will peel off faster leaving a unidentified breaker down the road possibly.

OK, but listed for what? Adding a label? I doubt you'll find anything in writing for that in either case.
