AEC Engineering Expands UL-Certified Panel Capabilities

AEC Engineering is proud to share an important milestone in the continued growth of our control panel capabilities. Recently, three of our panel technicians successfully completed the UL 508A Manufacturer Technical Representative (MTR) training program and passed the certification exam. With this achievement, every member of our panel team is now UL-certified, further demonstrating our commitment to delivering high-quality, compliant, and reliable control panel solutions.

AEC Engineering is certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to design and build control panels under:

• UL 508A – Industrial Control Panels
• UL 698 – Control Panels for Hazardous Locations
• NNNY labeling – Industrial control panels evaluated for specific applications

Having our entire panel team certified ensures that every panel AEC builds is designed, assembled, and inspected by technicians who fully understand UL requirements, construction standards, and inspection criteria. For you, our customer, this translates directly into:

• Panels built to industry best-practices
• Faster Factory Acceptance Testing and Site Acceptance Testing
• Improved safety and reliability
• Fewer field modifications necessary
• Maximize lifespan of equipment and components

In industries where uptime and safety are critical, these advantages can make a meaningful difference.

Control panels built to UL standards incorporate properly rated components, appropriate short-circuit protection, and correct spacing, grounding, and wiring practices. These details are necessary to minimize electrical hazards and protect both personnel and equipment. At the same time, the structured processes required by UL help ensure consistency in manufacturing—resulting in panels that are built correctly the first time and perform reliably over the long term.

AEC Engineering’s UL 698 and NNNY capability further extends these criteria into hazardous environments such as wastewater headworks, chemical feed systems, and industrial processing applications. Designing panels for classified locations requires specialized knowledge of enclosure types, wiring methods, and protection techniques. With a fully certified team, we are well-positioned to deliver safe, compliant solutions in these unique and demanding applications.

Investing in advanced training for our technicians is part of a broader commitment at AEC Engineering to deliver turnkey automation and control solutions that meet the highest industry standards. Whether supporting municipal infrastructure, industrial facilities, or remote telemetry systems, our clients can be confident that every panel we build is engineered for performance, built for safety, and ready for inspection.

If you are planning a control panel upgrade, a new facility, or a SCADA project, now is an ideal time to partner with a fully UL-certified team. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and help deliver a solution that is safe, reliable, and built to perform.
