Presents suppliers of telecommunications equipment and suppliers of product labels with proposed engineering generic requirements for pressure-sensitive, adhesive-backed labels that are applied to telecommunications equipment, as specified in GR-485-CORE, that have been assigned CLEI codes. These labels contain machine-readable, encoded data and a human-readable, alphanumeric CLEI code on the face. The labels are intended for use in identifying and inventorying plug-in units and other telecommunication equipment while in service or in stored areas either in indoor environments or in outdoor environments in an enclosure, not subject to prolonged exposure to extreme temperature or humidity conditions.
