Do you know if there is a CE compliance issue with attaching electrical components to a hinged door? For ease of construction, we often attach components to the access door of our industrial control panel enclosures. UL has evaluated our construction methods and certified us a UL508 Panel Shop. Criteria is that a solid earth ground is attached to the door, and all electrical cables are protected against damage. We are being told by a customer that electrical components are never allowed on a door, in compliance with CE. If UL finds it acceptable, I am not sure why it would be unacceptable for Europe. I have seen many enclosures in Europe with electrical components on a removable panel or door. Is the inspector exercising personal preference, or is there a compliance standard that backs up this decision to reject our wiring practices?
