Kitemark for cables
Eland Cables, the global supplier of power, data, control and instrumentation cables and cable accessories, has been awarded BSI’s Cable Batch Verification Kitemark.
Described by BSI as “a new benchmark in cable compliance” Eland Cables is said to be the first company to hold this coveted third-party mark of approval.
The BSI Cable Batch Verification Kitemark sees compliance determined by testing the individual components – the conductor, the insulation and other constructional layers – elements that are bound by British and European standards such as BS EN 60228 which sets out the test methods applied to conductor resistance. This testing regime, and the Kitemark that is applied upon meeting these standards, gives comfort that they will perform as designed. These tests are carried out in Eland Cables’ in-house UKAS accredited testing facility, The Cable Lab, under a rigorous BSI surveillance programme.
