Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a faceplate for an LED exit sign?
  • Is the faceplate made of plastic?
  • Is it a replacement part designed to be fixed onto the sign?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
