Continued from page 21

32.6 If a heat lamp that will accommodate lamps of two or more different types is tested as described in paragraph 19.1, the appliance shall be plainly marked to indicate that it should be used with a lamp of the type with which it was tested. If lamp is user replaceable, reference to instructions for type and method of replacement shall be provided.

32.7 Instructions for the use of a polarized attachment plug shall be provided with each sun/heat lamp employing a polarized attachment plug. The instructions shall be included on a separate sheet, on an attached tag, or in a separate format in the manufacturer’s instructions booklet. The instructions shall be titled IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in letters not less than 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) high, and shall precede the following, or the equivalent text. " This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature."

32.11 Markings shall be permanent and shall be molded, die-stamped, paint-stenciled, stamped or etched on metal, indelible stamped lettering, or a pressure sensitive label secured by adhesive that is acceptable for the particular application, see Section 27.

32.12 A sunlamp shall be permanently marked on an exterior surface of the product when fully assembled for use so as to be legible and readily accessible to view by the person being exposed immediately before the use of the product. The label must contain as a minimum:
