circuit-breaker. they shall be adjacent to the operating toggle and visible when the toggle is in the
relevant position. Where covers are used for marking, they shall be nonreversible.
(f) the rated voltage;
(g) the name, trade name or registered trade mark of the manufacturer or the supplier;
(h) a catalogue number or type number or other identification marking that will distinguish the EL circuit-breaker from a n y other type marketed by the manufacturer;
(i) in the case of an EL circuit-breaker equipped with a neutral terminal, the letters L and N to identify the
respective terminals;
(j) the rated short-time(40 ms)withstand current or breaking capacity class, i n kiloamperes;
(k) the current-time characteristic (this marking may be in code and shall apply only to an EL circuit-breaker fitted with an overcurrent release);
(l) an acceptable identification mark for the line and load terminal5 ~ o r alternatively, direction arrow indicating the entry and exit directions of the supply leads;
(m) in the case of an EL circuit-breaker not fitted with an overcurrent release and not marked with a rated short-time withstand current value, marking stating that an alternative method of overload protection shall precede the EL circuit-breaker in the circuit.
5.2 The appropriate of the following symbols may also appear in legible and indelible marking on the body of circuit-breaker:
In = rated current
Un = rated voltage
Icn = rated breaking capacity class, eg “ Icn 2.5 kA”
5.3 LABELS : Labels (when used) shall be of acceptable material and when they are tested in accordance with 6.21, the marking shall still be legible and, in the case of a stick-on label, it shall not be possible to remove the label in one piece.

Compulsory Specification For Microbiological Safety Cabinets (Classes I, II And III)
Country/Region applying the measure
South Africa
The rationale of the measure
1.1 This specification covers requirements for the construction, fittings and pre-installation and post- installation performance of class I, class li and class III microbiological safety cabinets (also known as biological safety cabinets) intended to protect the operator and the environment from hazardous microbiological materials and (if so required by the customer or user or both), organic toxins and non-corrosive volatile organic agents.

NOTE - Microbiological safety cabinets are not intended to provide protection against corrosive chemical or radioactive materials.

1 .2 The specification does not cover the actual design of a safety cabinet and in no way restricts new design, provided that a microbiological safety cabinet of a new design complies with the requirements for materials, reliability, performance and safety given in this specification.

NOTE - Microbiological safety cabinets of class I, class II and class III should not be confused with laminar flow
clean workstations that usually discharge horizontally and vertically towards the operator and that do not provide
protection for an operator, but can even increase exposure to airborne hazards.
Coded list of objectives
X: For purposes n.e.s.
Description of the measure
8.2 Marking
For each class of cabinet, the appropriate of the following information shall be prominently, legibly and indelibly displayed on the front of each cabinet:
a) the designation, i.e.
1) Microbiological safety cabinet class I - Protection for personnel and the environment against ordinary microbiological agents, or
2) Microbiological safety cabinet class II - Protection for personnel, the environment and the product against ordinary microbiological agents, or
3) Microbiological safety cabinet class III - Protection for personnel, the environment and the products against special and extremely hazardous microbiological agents;
b) the manufacturer's name and address;
c) the total volume of the cabinet;
d) the words "WARNING: Do not use flammable or explosive and highly volatile liquids in this cabinet";
e) the serial number of the cabinet;
f) the year of manufacture; and
