UL 698A Certification
There are various UL certifications that are important for companies that look to ensure quality, safety, and performance. In particular, the UL 698A certification applies to the manufacturing of intrinsically safe control panels. These types of UL control panels mitigate risks and are often a requirement in environments where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, combustible dust, and other particle-igniting or hazardous elements are present. This is often the case in industries with demanding safety requirements such as oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, wastewater, processing industries, and more.

Application Example
Pictured above is an example of an explosion proof enclosure for a mixing application in the cosmetics industry. In short, the explosion proof control system works to operate and monitor the mixing process. The main function of the control system is to control and monitor the temperature throughout the mixing process. For example, if a mixture, like a cream or liquid lipstick, becomes too hot, the control panel will kill power to the application to prevent damages to the product or application.
