Opus Integration Achieves UL 508A Panel Shop Certification

  • 3 min read

We’re proud to share some exciting news — Opus Integration is now officially a UL 508A certified panel shop! This certification represents a major milestone for our team and reflects our ongoing commitment to safety, quality, and excellence in everything we build.

What UL 508A Certification Means

UL 508A is the widely recognized safety standard for industrial control panels established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It defines requirements for component selection, wiring methods, enclosure ratings, labeling, and short-circuit current ratings (SCCR), ensuring panels are built to the highest standards of safety and reliability.

In becoming a UL 508A certified panel shop, Opus has demonstrated that our design, assembly, and testing practices meet UL’s stringent requirements. This certification provides our customers with the assurance that every control panel we produce adheres to nationally recognized electrical safety standards — from design through delivery.

Why It Matters

Achieving UL 508A certification isn’t just about checking a box — it’s about raising the bar.

Safety and Compliance
Our customers can be confident that every panel we deliver meets rigorous electrical safety and performance criteria. This reduces risks of electrical faults, improves code compliance, and helps ensure smooth inspections and approvals.

Quality and Consistency
The UL process involves ongoing audits, documentation reviews, and quality checks. Maintaining this certification requires strict adherence to procedures and recordkeeping, which means our customers receive the same high-quality workmanship every time.

Customer Confidence
Many industries — including distilling, manufacturing, food & beverage, and water treatment — now require UL 508A certification for control panels. By achieving this status, Opus Integration can better serve our existing partners and confidently expand into new markets where compliance and reliability are top priorities.

What This Means for Our Customers

With UL 508A certification, our panels will:

  • Use UL-recognized or listed components
  • Include proper labeling and documentation for easy inspection and maintenance
  • Meet required short-circuit current ratings (SCCR)
  • Comply fully with the National Electrical Code (NEC)

This not only streamlines the installation and approval process but also gives our customers greater confidence that their systems are built to last — safely and efficiently.

A Milestone for the Opus Team

This certification is the result of hard work and dedication from our engineering and production teams, who continually strive to improve the quality of our work. It also reinforces one of our core values at Opus Integration — doing things the right way.

Becoming a UL 508A certified shop positions us to take on even more complex projects, collaborate more deeply with OEMs and integrators, and support customers who demand the highest standards in control system design and fabrication.

Looking Ahead

Earning our UL 508A certification is an achievement we’re proud of — but it’s just the beginning. We see this as a foundation for continued growth and innovation in our panel building and integration services.

As we move forward, Opus Integration remains committed to delivering smarter, safer, and more reliable solutions — built to the highest standards of excellence.

We’re officially UL 508A certified — and ready to build the future, one panel at a time.
