UL 50 Listing for Electrical Enclosures
Virginia Beach, VA — DRFC Metalworx is proud to announce that our facility has achieved UL 50 certification for the fabrication of electrical enclosures. This milestone underscores our commitment to safety, precision, and quality in the design and manufacture of metal enclosures used in demanding industrial and commercial applications.
What UL 50 Certification Means
UL 50 is the Underwriters Laboratories standard for enclosures for electrical equipment, covering enclosures intended to house electrical components such as control panels, junction boxes, and instrumentation. Certification under UL 50 ensures that an enclosure meets rigorous performance criteria for mechanical strength, environmental sealing, corrosion resistance, and safety.
For customers, UL certification provides assurance that every enclosure built by DRFC Metalworx meets the same stringent requirements recognized across the electrical and manufacturing industries.
Commitment to Compliance and Quality
Achieving UL 50 certification required DRFC Metalworx to demonstrate compliance with UL’s detailed construction standards and quality control procedures. Every step of our process—from material selection and welding to finishing and inspection—was evaluated to verify consistent, repeatable quality and adherence to the UL marking and documentation system.
Our certification covers Type-rated enclosures designed for both indoor and outdoor use, providing protection against environmental factors such as dust, water, and corrosion. These enclosures are suitable for a range of applications including power distribution, automation systems, and marine or industrial control panels.
Capabilities and Customization
At DRFC Metalworx, we combine advanced fabrication technology—including precision laser cutting, CNC forming, and TIG/MIG welding—with 3D CAD design to deliver fully custom UL-listed enclosures. Our team works directly with OEMs, integrators, and end users to design and build enclosures that meet specific performance requirements while maintaining full UL compliance.
We also offer custom labeling, powder coating, and gasketing options to ensure environmental performance consistent with the enclosure’s UL Type rating (such as Type 1, 3R, 4, or 12). Each finished product is traceable, documented, and verified under our UL-approved quality management program.
Why UL Certification Matters
In an increasingly regulated and safety-conscious industry, UL certification isn’t just a mark—it’s proof of reliability. Customers and inspectors alike recognize UL as the gold standard for electrical safety and performance. Choosing a UL 50 certified fabricator like DRFC Metalworx means your enclosures meet or exceed all relevant safety codes and can be confidently integrated into broader UL-listed systems.
