Electrical Cabinet for Industrial use.

[Chris1234]

Afternoon, is there any requirement for electrical cabinets to be all metal? Or is any flame retardant ok?
It’s for a basic PLC cabinet with inputs / outputs to a Cobot.
Very light industrial, nothing ever gets damaged etc.

No specific requirements for metal.
however you, as the designer should design it to be suitable for the environment it is to be used in.
