Just a reminder ....
It is my practice to completely ignore the card/ sticker / label that comes with the panel. Instead, it is my practice to place a printed label on the face of the breaker itself.
Why? Because the ID remains even after you remove the cover, and you can re-position breakers at will. But I digress ...
Some folks took the position that the code, by requiring a "directory," either banned this practice of mine, or still required that the card be filled out.
For the 2008 code, I proposed that my method be allowed. The code panel's response was heartening: they said no change was needed, because, in their opinion, my method was already allowed by the code language.
So ... let's not get hung up on that word 'directory.'
