What is UL 508A certification?
Under UL 508A certification, a certified Manufacturer Technical Representative (MTR) can build industrial control panel equipment with enclosures and sub-panels of the system. To achieve UL 508A certification, the panel must meet the UL 508A safety standard that applies to industrial control panels. This code covers industrial control and related devices rated 1000 volts or less used for starting, stopping, regulating, controlling, or protecting motors and control devices.
We can provide our turn-key design including design, drawings, proper ratings for your facility, and commissioning. A certified MTR also knows how to work with the UL verification process, and will often do extra work ahead of a UL audit, such as preparing a detailed inspection documentation package.
Having a UL 508A label on your panel helps it get approved by third-party inspections faster, making resale and safety codes a breeze. Building inspectors will usually approve new equipment installations when the control panel has a UL 508A label on it, because it certifies a safety standard has been met.
