If you manufacture one-of-a-kind equipment, are relocating existing equipment to a new facility, or have purchased used equipment or equipment without proper certification, chances are you will need to comply with local electrical safety requirements.

Throughout the United States and Canada, many local jurisdictions will not allow unlisted / unlabeled equipment to be installed or used at manufacturing and commercial sites within their communities. In many cases, manufacturers utilizing equipment in conflict with local electrical laws may be fined and/or shut down by OSHA or may not be allowed to energize their equipment by the local electrical inspectors.

Reduce your liability and get your field label from TÜV SÜD America.
