Here is our overview of the basics of control cabinet marking. We have tried to explain why<\/a> and what<\/a> should be marked, and what kinds of standards and requirements<\/a> exist. In the end, we highlight some commonly used product groups<\/a> related to this application.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Why should you mark?<\/h2>\n

The purpose of reference marking is to ensure fast and clear identification of equipment throughout its entire life cycle. Proper marking allows products, wires, and cables to be identified at a glance, making your control cabinet easier to maintain, service, and organize.<\/p>\n

What should be marked?<\/h2>\n

Everything in and around a control cabinet can be marked: conductors (wires), terminal blocks, power systems, push buttons<\/a>, and control elements. Of course, nameplates as well as safety and CE signs are also essential.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Standards and requirements<\/h2>\n

In industrial control cabinet manufacturing, structured and standard-compliant label<\/a>ing systems according to DIN EN 81346, DIN EN 60445, and VDE 0660 are essential for safe commissioning, maintenance, and documentation of electrical systems.<\/p>\n

Markings must be abrasion-resistant, UV-resistant, and chemical-resistant to ensure long-term legibility, even under demanding industrial environmental conditions.
\nAt the same time, maximum process reliability with minimal time expenditure is required.<\/p>\n
