UL 508A CERTIFIED Control panels
Our UL 508A Certified Control Panels. Allowing you to Focus 100% on Your Business in North America.
1. WHY CHOOSE UL 508A? Your advantage on the US market
The export of control cabinets into the United States requires compliance with strict safety and quality standards, which differ significantly from the European market. This is why UL certification is increasing in importance. The UL certification is a recognized quality seal and a decisive proof of the safety and quality of industrial control panels, especially for the US market. It verifies that products meet the strict requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and are recognized by relevant authorities such as “OSHA”.
For companies, UL 508A certification is an essential element in facilitating market access: control cabinets holding this certification are prioritized during customs clearance and regulatory approval is expedited. In addition, the UL label establishes trust amongst customers and partners, as it stands for the highest safety and quality standards. Without certification, companies risk delays, additional costs and fewer market opportunities.
With our UL 508A certification, we ensure that our control panels are not only safe but also fully compliant with US regulations and ready for immediate use. Our UL 508A-certified control panels are your shortcut to success.

6. The UL 508A certification process: step-by-step to success
Inspection process in detail
Preparation & planning
A thorough review of all documentation - including schematics, BOMs, and technical specs - is conducted to ensure full compliance with UL 508A standards. Every component must meet strict requirements before approval can proceed.
Material inspection
Inspectors verify that all components - such as switches, relays, and PCBs - have been tested and certified according to UL standards. Each material must be suitable for its intended purpose and proven to meet the required safety and performance criteria.
Assembly inspection
All installed components within the control panel are carefully verified for proper installation and wiring, including compliance with overcurrent protection, clearance and spacing requirements, and insulation standards.
Performance test
The control panel is tested in realistic operating conditions with regard to control response times, protective devices and the simulation of malfunctions.
Dokumentation der Ergebnisse
Der gesamte Prüfprozess wird lückenlos dokumentiert. Diese Dokumentation ist nicht nur für die Qualitätssicherung wichtig, sondern spielt auch eine entscheidende Rolle bei zukünftigen Wartungen und Prüfungen. Sie bietet einen nachvollziehbaren Nachweis über die Einhaltung der Norm und die Sicherheitsstandards des Produkts.
Abschlusstest und Zertifizierung: Ihr Startsignal für den US-Markt
WO ERFOLGT DIE ZERTIFIZIERUNG?
Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten, eine UL-Zertifizierung für einen Schaltschrank zu erlangen:
1. Der Schaltschrank wird direkt nach Fertigstellung noch im Betrieb vor Ort abgenommen. Die UL-Zertifizierung wird dabei über Inspektoren eines "NRTL" (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory), also eines in den USA staatlich anerkannten Prüfinstituts wie UL, oder TÜV Süd, vollzogen. Dabei ist entweder eine Einzelabnahme möglich oder das Unternehmen baut nur einen zertifizierten Schaltschranktyp und erhält die Typen-Zertifizierung.
2. Die Abnahme des Schaltschranks erfolgt erst am Einsatzort in den USA. Dies ist jedoch mit viel mehr Aufwand verbunden als die Bestellung eines individuellen Schaltschranks bei einem UL-zertifizierten Schaltschrankbauer.
ZERTIFIZIERUNGSPROZESS
Abschlusstest und Zertifizierung
Der abschließende Test umfasst eine Reihe von sicherheitsrelevanten Prüfungen, wie Temperaturmessungen und Isolationsprüfungen. Wenn der Schaltschrank alle Tests besteht, kann er schließlich mit dem UL-Zertifikat versehen werden, welches seine Konformität mit der Norm UL 508A bestätigt und sofort in den Einsatz in Nordamerika gehen.
