Yes.
If you check with your local electrical code inspectors
(or, if you have one, your in-house electrician ), you
will find that custom-built equipment used in your
factory or site must meet the electrical code, which
means it must be certified for safety.
Many of the certification houses offer on-site
investigations of such equipment. UL has a standard
(I don't recall the number) for such equipment. Upon
successful completion of the investigation, the cert
house will put a sticker on the equipment, and the
electrical code inspector will accept the equipment.
(Such certification also protects your employer against
violation of OSHA rules.)
Best regards,
Rich
