BASEC Cable Certification
BASEC's certification programmes currently extend to product certification and BASEC marking assessed design, process capability, and HAR scheme approval. Upon approving a specific cable range against the relevant standards, BASEC issues a product certification schedule and listing. This provides confirmation that the product complies with the standards.
The BASEC mark of approval represents an endorsement of safety and quality by one of the largest accreditation bodies in Europe.
The work of BASEC complements the testing programme of our own in-house testing laboratory, The Cable Lab®, and in supplying BASEC-approved products it is part of our commitment to supplying quality cables which have been tested to the highest standards.
