Question:
Dear CQD,
Is an arc-flash warning label required on the meter enclosure? I installed on the service disconnect, but the inspector is asking for the same label on the meter socket enclosure. What is your take on this?
Thanks,
Tim Simpson

Answer:
Hi Tim,
This inspector has code text that backs up the requirement he is addressing. Section 110.16 (A) clearly includes meter socket enclosures in the types of equipment that would be required to have the arc-flash hazard warning. Often the manufacturers of this type of equipment have already affixed these labels to the enclosure which should satisfy the NEC requirement.
