My co-designer wants to use control panel as a raceway or a pull box an is claiming that UL508A doesn't restrict that.
Any comments?

A control panel is not a raceway so you can't use it as a raceway.

A UL508a control panel is housed in an enclosure.

The code does not prohibit conductors from being routed thru an enclosure.

So it does not really matter if it is a raceway or not. You can still run wires thru it, subject to the normal rules like insulation types and enough room.
