I have to say this is one of those irritatingly ambiguous rules. The Norgen regulator provided in the KOP can be turned up higher than 60 PSI despite what it ratings say. One of the main reason that we use the KOP regulator is to avoid this trying to figure out what this rule means.

With the usual disclaimer about past years, when working as robot inspector, one of things we were asked to look for in the queuing line was the air pressure. Wasn't unusual to find the working pressure slightly over 60 PSI & occasionally substantially over. Easy to check for & easy to fix.
