Sounds like UL1598 is a possible applicable Standard. The standard calls out minimum thicknesses. For vent openings it depends on how close they are to uninsulated live parts. An evaluation would be needed to confirm all applicable requirements. If you’d like an evaluation, send a separate request to me. We are covered by UL for them to accept our data for UL1598 and other lighting Standards under their Data Acceptance Program.

That portion is not assessable. The concern is vent holes, what size those NEED to be for electrical safety for lighting products. Structural mounting is also not a concern. The thinking here is that the same requirements for florescent lighting kits that you purchase at Home Improvement Store X would apply; however in application, the product is more similar to warehouse high bay lighting that is installed 4-6 meters over head.

The highest voltage inside of the box is 208VAC, power is approximately 200VA. For indoor use, general industrial lighting. IPxx or NEMA reference is OK.
