Certification of cable and cable products

Cable is one or more individually insulated, enclosed in a common sheath conductors. Such products easily withstanding high voltage, are designed for laying in harsh conditions, such as under water or in the ground, since the special wear-resistant structure reduces the risk of destruction.

A prerequisite for production and sale of cables, cords, wires on the territory of the Russian Federation and the EAEU member countries is certification of cable products, being a verification of compliance with the norms and requirements of the current technical regulations.

The legislative framework.

Assessment of the quality and safety of cable products is carried out on the basis of several regulatory and legislative documents.

For low-voltage cables, the technical regulation TS 004/2011 applies.

The full range of products subject to verification as part of certification of cable products can be found in the text of the decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission No. 91 dated April 24, 2013.

For high-voltage devices intended primarily for industrial use, a certificate of conformity is provided for according to the criteria of the GOST R system.

Cables, wires and cords with voltages above 1000 V falling into this category are defined by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2425 dated December 23, 2021.

According to the Federal Law No. 123 of 2008 regarding compliance with fire safety standards, certain types of cables must undergo appropriate testing. Due to the fact that this regulation is one of internal legislative acts, the fire certificate for cable is valid exclusively on the territory of the Russian Federation.
