Not specifically; if it is simply a nameplate it may be replaced. Keep Section 110.21 in mind.
Note: California has its own Electrical Code (CEC) but this section is unchanged from the NEC.

Application of a "listing label" is subject to the rules of the various LA city approved labs. Most labs generally (and UL specifically) only permit application of a label by the original manufacturer or a field service rep of the lab.

This is the URL address of the LA City Codes:

The City Electrical Code is In the Los Angeles Municipal Code, ChapterIX, Article 3
these are the sections you are looking for:
