6) The maximum rms ac or dc Urn that can be applied to terminals of non-intrinsically sate apparatus or associated apparatus.
10.3 Terminals, terminal boxes, and plugs and receptacles for connection to intrinsically safe circuits shall be clearly identified and clearly distinguishable. If color only is used to cornply with this requirement, the color shall be light blue.
10.4 Battery-powered apparatus shall be marked as follows:
a) A caution statement to indicate the type. size, and voltage of batteries to be used, or indicate the specific battery by manufacturer and model number or equivalent to be used.
b) In addition, for battery assemblies with two or more replaceable batteries, the apparatus shall be marked with the following warning or equivalent:
“Warning’ To reduce the risk of explosion do not mix old batteries with used batteries, or mix batteries from different manufacturers.
C) It the batteries used are not intrinsically safe, the apparatus shall be marked with the following or equivalent:
“Warning’ To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable or explosive atmosphere, batteries must be changed only in a location known to be non-hazardous.”
10.5 Apparatus or battery packs provided with external contacts for recharging the batteries shall be marked with the following, or equivalent: “CAUTION: To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the batteries outside of the hazardous location.”
Exception: Apparatus or battery packs investigated and found acceptable for recharging in the hazardous location need not be provided with this marking. In this case, the batter, charger shall be investigated and the marking shall specify the acceptable charger.
