Fushi Copperweld has announced
that the company’s subsidiary, Fushi
International (Dalian) Bimetallic
Cable Co Ltd has been appointed
by the National Standardization
Administration of China (SAC) to
form China’s first composite
conductor working group.
SAC, established in April 2001, is
authorised by the State Council of
the People’s Republic of China to
draft, formulate, and implement
state laws and regulations on
product standardisation.
Upon formation, the working group
will be the first standards setting
body within China for composite
conductors. The group, which
will draw together a number
of well-known industry experts,
leaders and enterprises, will
be formulating a nationwide
standard for composite conductor
wires within the telecommunication,
electrical, automotive, railway,
industrial and utility industries, as
well as in other high frequency
signal and power transmission
areas.
In 2007, the company, with the
Number 23 Research Institute of
China Electronics and Technology
Group and other industry experts,
formulated a national standard for
copper-clad aluminium wire (CCA).
The proposed national standard has
been formally approved by the
National Standards Committee and
awaits industry implementation.
