As a manufacturer of machinery, how confident are you that you meet the legal and technical requirements of the US and North American markets?Confusion over UL508A and NFPA - the main standards affecting machine building - can be extremely costly without specialist knowledge.

Many believe that by simply selecting UL listed components and integrating them into a control panel that carries a UL (NEMA) rating, is the start and end of the matter. In fact, a number of machinery manufacturers adopt this approach and may manage to escape any serious issues. That is until they come up against a more stringent inspection, whether state specific or just a more thorough site inspector - then the problems can be huge. Re-working, supplying new components, and even the time and financial cost of dispatching engineers overseas to resolve the issues as quickly as they can.

Strictly defined within the Standards is the use of cable types, leaving the choice and correct application, often at the heart of the confusion.
