Why are standards and certifications important for cables?

Whether in mechanical engineering, automation, or building technology, cables must function safely and reliably. Standards and certifications ensure that defined quality and safety standards are upheld. Testing procedures confirm that cables fulfil the required material properties and electric parameters. This makes these cables suited for approved installations and optimally prepared for export worldwide. This includes, for example, cables with UL approvals and VDE cables & wires.
