New certification for Lapp Kabel
Lapp Kabel is further increasing its international
competitiveness with new certification.
The Ölflex® Classic 130 H, a cost-effective control cable that
is halogen-free and highly flame-resistant, now has UL AWM
certification for use in the USA and Canada and fire testing
approval to VW-1. It is used in equipment and apparatus for
safety reasons.
The Ölflex® Control M and TM machinery installation cables,
which are used in laying in cable trays up to the machine in
question, are real ‘world travellers.’
The cables are MTW-listed (Machine Tool Wire) and hence
are now approved for the North American market. AWG
conductors adapted to metric sizes also allow CE-conformity
for use in Europe. And it has also been NOM-listed (Norma
Oficial Mexicana) for Mexico.
Since the cable is suitable for use in unprotected lying and
in cable trays as a result of the Open Wiring certification,
installation is significantly easier and quicker. Add to the short
lay length stranding and a special extruded outer sheath.
There have also been many innovations for the Chinese
market: The Ölflex® 140 control cable with increased oil
resistance and the internationally approved Ölflex® 150
Quattro control cable with its screened variants 140 CY and
150 CY Quattro now also have so-called China Compulsory
Certification (CCC).
Ölflex® cables are especially suitable for machine and plant
construction, for machine tools, conveyor units, conveyor
belts and assembly lines, and for equipment manufacture.
Exports to China have been made significantly easier due to
the CCC certification.
