UL and cUL Certified Plastic Enclosures
UL and cUL certification are essential for plastic enclosures used in a wide range of industries, including electrical, electronics, and medical. UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and cUL (Underwriters Laboratories of Canada) are independent safety science companies that test and certify products to ensure they meet rigorous safety standards.
Fibox offers a wide range of UL and cUL certified polycarbonate plastic enclosures that are designed to protect sensitive electronic and electrical components from the elements and other hazards. Fibox enclosures are made from high-quality materials and are built to withstand demanding environments.
Benefits of UL and cUL Certified Plastic Enclosures
Both UL and cUL certification are based on the same safety standards, but there are some minor differences in the requirements for specific products. For example, the cUL standard for electrical control equipment requires a higher level of protection against moisture than the UL standard. UL and cUL certification provide a number of benefits to manufacturers and users of plastic enclosures:
- Safety: UL and cUL certified enclosures have been tested to meet rigorous safety standards, ensuring that they will protect sensitive electronic and electrical components from hazards such as fire, electric shock, and water damage.
- Compliance: UL and cUL certification is required by many regulatory agencies for products that are sold or used in the United States and Canada.
- Peace of mind: UL and cUL certification provides peace of mind for manufacturers and users of plastic enclosures, knowing that their products are safe and compliant with applicable regulations.
Applications for UL and cUL Certified Plastic Enclosures
UL and CUL certified plastic enclosures are used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Electrical control panels
- Electronic devices
- Medical equipment
- Industrial automation equipment
- Outdoor enclosures
Choosing the Right UL and CUL Certified Plastic Enclosure
When choosing a UL and CUL certified plastic enclosure, there are a number of factors to consider, including:
- Size: The enclosure must be large enough to accommodate the electronic and electrical components that will be housed inside it.
- Material: Fibox enclosures are available in polycarbonate, this robust plastic is stronger than steel, but lightweight, rust-free and Wi-Fi friendly.
- Ingress protection: Fibox enclosures offer a variety of ingress protection (IP) ratings, which indicate the level of protection against dust and water. The required IP rating will depend on the environment in which the enclosure will be used.
Conclusion
Fibox offers a wide range of UL and CUL certified plastic enclosures that are designed to protect sensitive electronic and electrical components from the elements and other hazards. Fibox enclosures are made from high-quality materials and are built to withstand demanding environments.
