Equipment manufacturing companies are allowed to print their own company names on equipment nameplates, but they must comply with relevant regulations and standards. If fake company names or trademarks are applied without authorization, it may lead to intellectual property infringement disputes, and one may face legal actions and penalties. Furthermore, if the information provided is inaccurate, incomplete, or does not meet the standard requirements, it may also result in the device being deemed unqualified, which could affect its performance and safety. Therefore, before printing their company name on the equipment nameplates, equipment manufacturers should thoroughly understand the regulatory and standard requirements and ensure that the information printed is accurate and valid. .

Unless you’re willing to be the scapegoat. Actually, in the case of EPC for complete sets of facilities or equipment, a sign or label can be placed next to them to provide explanations.

Special equipment may not be labeled arbitrarily. The others can be posted. Some property owners cover the supplier’s signs out of a desire to maintain confidentiality

The question at the first floor is: Can the general contractor paste it?

The equipment nameplate usually indicates the equipment name, parameters, applicable standards, manufacturer’s name (and even contact information), etc. Special equipment is required to have nameplates that comply with the standards set by the Technical Supervision Bureau. The equipment nameplate is an essential guiding tool for daily equipment management and emergency response, and it serves as a guarantee for assuming responsibility for the corresponding equipment. Imagine, if equipment manufacturers cover the labels of other companies on their own equipment, would the information on those labels become distorted? Which organization should be contacted in an emergency? This isn’t an advertisement; these are all risks.
