The manufacturer’s label was missing, partial, or illegible on the electrical service panel. The manufacturer’s label typically provides information describing the main panel such as the name of the panel manufacturer, the panel model number, the panel amperage rating, limitations related to the environment in which the panel was designed to be installed, and grounding/bonding information for that particular model. The Inspector was unable to confirm the existence of proper conditions when confirmation would require information taken from this missing label.

The inspector observed an older/obsolete panel. While there are no known inherent defects, the inspector recommends the panel be evaluated by a licensed electrician.
