Question Looking for master split switch ENGRAVED =Alt/Bat

Seems there are a lot available without engraving. Just want to replace what I have and not have to label panel accordingly. It looks like the Cessna split mater switch.

Got a Email from Aircraft Spruce saying their master switch is not engraved with "Alt" & "Bat" and that it is NOT required by the FAA that the switch be identified. It's my understanding that ALL ELECTRICAL SWITCHES BE IDENTIFIED. Can use some help here in locating regulatory requirements. THANKS

Question

Here's an expensive Piper one...

Could Spruce be mixing up labelling the switch rocker vs. the panel?

The FAA requirements for identification are usually met with panel labels.

Thanks Chris, went to their website and they have the switch covers. This is a pretty neat website on ALL engravings. Much appreciated. I'll contact them Monday.

Thanks Ron RV9A
