Hazardous Location Panel Manufacturing

Hazardous Location Panels and Hazardous Location Enclosures (also referred to as “explosion proof panels”) are designed and built to operate in environments where concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, liquids or combustible particles pose risks of ignition and explosion.

Hazardous location panel manufacturing & engineering is a highly-regulated area of controls manufacturing, which demands a manufacturing partner who is thoroughly conversant in the relevant hazardous location standards and capable of consistently hitting all the marks in meeting your project’s certification requirements.

Explosion Proof Panel

We Are Your Certification Specialists

The Industrial Controls Company designs, manufactures and certifies UL and CUL-certified control panels for Hazardous Locations, as well as Explosion Proof Panels (NNNY Certified) and control panels with Intrinsically Safe (IS) barriers (UL 698A and NRBX as well as ATEX, the EU equivalent) for use in explosive environments.

We have been approved by UL for hazardous location self-certification, saving our customers the expense and delays of third-party certification.

All Hazardous location, explosion-proof panels, intrinsically safe control panels and hazardous location enclosures are constructed in accordance with UL 508A standards (UL/CUL file E71773) and have an electrical supply voltage limitation of 600V maximum and ambient temperature limitations of -25 °C to +40 °C.

As per UL file E226048, The Industrial Controls Company builds and certifies UL/CUL Listed control panels and assemblies for use in Hazardous Locations (NNNY, NNY7 NRBX, NNNY7).

This includes industrial control panels for use in:

  • Class I, Div. I, Groups A, B, C and D Hazardous Location with Type X Purge
  • Class I, Div. I, Groups A, B, C and D Hazardous Location with Type Y Purge
  • Class I, Div. II, Groups A, B, C and D Hazardous Location with Type Z Purge
  • Class I, Div. I, Groups B, C and D Hazardous Location with Explosion Proof Enclosure
  • Class I, Div. II, Groups B, C and D Hazardous Location with Explosion Proof Enclosure

The Industrial Controls Company has manufactured & engineered hazardous location enclosures for a variety of industrial applications, including oil & gas refineries, pharmaceutical, distillery, chemical, hazardous powders, landfill (methane) and wastewater.

Fabrication & Labeling

Our extensive fabrication capabilities allow us to manufacture in-house the heavy, hazardous location enclosures that protect your controls investment, as well as the labeling and engraving services to imprint your hazardous control panels with all the necessary instructions, cautions and warnings.

We achieve crisp, legible results on a variety of surfaces and can convert most graphic files — including your CAD drawings and many Macintosh files — for output on our equipment. Or, we can scan original materials. And all your graphics and labeling data is stored for future access.
