Our sub-supplier has used incorrect wire colors (size AWG #12) for 24 VDC relay control circuits - red/white instead of blue (as per NFPA 79). Unfortunately, this was not caught during acceptance, and the large piece of equipment was shipped overseas to the end user, where the incompliance was discovered. Is there any "legal" way to re-identify wire colors to blue color without a massive wire replacement effort? A reference to supporting documents would be greatly appreciated.

Oh! This is not just a simple problem because it involves electrical standard violation.
Mis matching of colors of wires can lead to injuries. I think it is important for the company to undergo hazard analysis and risk assessment. Just a thought.
