scope:

This standard sets forth information code requirements for overhead, pad-mounted, and subsurface distribution transformers and step-voltage regulators. Included are requirements for data content, symbology, layout, and life expectancy. This standard assumes the existence of user databases so information codes need only carry basic identification data.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to promote standardization and uniform use of information code labels on distribution transformers and step-voltage regulators when specified by the user. In the longer term, it is hoped that the information codes provided as a result of this standard will serve as an integral part of electrical utility material and information management systems.
