Frequently Asked Questions

Why are UL certifications important for control panel manufacturers?

Underwriters Laboratories certifications (UL certifications) are extremely important for control panel manufacturers because the UL certification process validates control panel manufacturers follow strict production guidelines, adhere to testing guidelines, inspection processes, and auditing.

When purchasing from control panel manufacturers, looking for UL certifications should be first on your list of requirements. The testing standards of the UL certification process are intertwined with OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration), NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory), and the NEC (National Electric Code).

The UL certification does a full scope review and testing of products that includes:

  • Battery Safety: Examination of battery technologies for safety and performance.
  • Data Science: Analytical examination with statistics to improve strategy
  • Fire Safety: Education for firefighters to ensure property and people are safe
  • Chemical Components: Eliminating and recognizing potential health risk of chemicals to reduce impact
  • Standards: setting benchmarks that define quality assurance for safety, performances, and sustainability globally.

Although UL certification is not currently mandatory in the United States, it is a recommended proactive way to ensure property and consumers’  security and safety. Connect with us at  info@customcontrolsaz.com or call (602) 954-3949.
