Sec. 19.12  Wording, purpose, and use of approval plate.

    (a) Approval plate. The manufacturer shall attach, stamp, or mold an 
approval plate on the battery container of each permissible lamp. The

added. The size and position of the approval plate shall be satisfactory 
to MSHA.
    (b) Purpose of approval plate. The approval plate is a label which 
identifies the lamp so that anyone can tell at a glance whether or not 
the lamp is of the permissible type. By it, the manufacturer can point 
out that his lamp complies with specifications of MSHA and that it has 
been judged as suitable for use in gassy mines.
    (c) Use of approval plate. Permission to place MSHA's approval plate 
on his lamp obligates the manufacturer to maintain the quality of his 
product and to see that each lamp is constructed according to the 
drawings which have been accepted by MSHA for this lamp and which are in 
MSHA's files. Lamps exhibiting changes in design which have not been 
approved are not permissible lamps and must not bear MSHA's approval 
plate.
    (d) Withdrawal of approval. MSHA reserves the right to rescind, for 
cause, at any time any approval granted under this part.
