Certifications and Support for Wet Benches and Wet Processing Equipment

Wet benches and wet processing equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing use chemical processing and electrical systems that must be designed to meet industry certifications and compliance standards. Modutek Corporation ensures that their products are designed and manufactured to meet applicable industry standards and also meet the specific requirements of each customer.

Certifications of compliance with applicable standards are a key factor that provides customers the confidence that the equipment they buy is well designed and safe to use in a manufacturing environment. The applicable certifications of compliance include the following:

UL508a Standard for Industrial Control Panels - Defines safety features like protection against live electrical parts and grounding of electrical equipment. The electrical panels in Modutek’s equipment are wired in accordance to this code.

NFPA 70, NEC - Deals with the safety of the design, installation and inspection of electrical systems, and concerns with the current environment and operating conditions of the installation. It also specifically addresses systems in hazardous locations. Modutek’s wet bench stations are wired to fully comply with NFPA 70 and the NEC which provides a high level of safety and operational reliability.   

NFPA 79 - Regulates the electrical safety of industrial machines, as well as their operation. Modutek’s wet benches comply with this standard as well as being designed to provide safe, reliable operation.


In addition to adhering to these standards, Modutek can also supply third-party certification for the above standards as well as for SEMI S2/S8 Safety Assessment, Ashare 110 Fume Hood Testing, AS/NZS3000: 2007 (Australian/New Zealand Standard), CE Mark (European Testing), CSA (Canadian Standards Association).
