ELAND CABLES LAUNCHES
VERIFLEX® BRAND - BSI KITEMARK
TESTED WITH NEXT DAY DELIVERY
land Cables, the global
supplier of power,
data, control and
instrumentation cables
and cable accessories, has
launched Veriflex® - its own brand range
of industrial automation cables.
E
Unique to the industry, these cables for
control, servo and fieldbus applications
have been tested against British and
European standards under the new BSI
Cable Batch Verification Kitemark™.
Veriflex® cables are subject to stringent
tests in Eland Cables’ ISO 17025 UKAS
accredited in-house facility, The Cable
Lab®, under a rigorous BSI surveillance
programme. The Kitemark provides
valuable independent verification of the
cable’s quality and compliance.
Described by BSI as “the new benchmark
in cable compliance” Eland Cables is the
first company to hold this coveted third-
party mark of approval. BSI Technical
Certification Expert Paul Turner confirmed:
“The Cable Batch Verification Kitemark is
applied to products, including the Veriflex
SY, CY and YY range of PVC and LSZH
control cables, under strict UKAS test
parameters and subject to BSI’s rigorous
surveillance programme.
The range of tests provide third-party
assurance that cables meet relevant
British and international standards for key
safety criteria, making them fit for use in
appropriate applications.”
Tests on component layers as well as the
completed cable, will cover key material
tests necessary to ensure that the cable
properties match intended performance
and construction.
These include vertical flame propagation,
conductor resistance, and tensile &
elongation in insulation and sheathing
materials.
Extended warranties on the Veriflex
range also come as standard, with PVC
cables under warranty for 3 years, and
LSZH cables having 2 years warranty.
Eland Cables’ confidence in their cables is
demonstrated in this additional benefit to
customers, providing double the standard
market offering.
Key alongside this rigorous testing
programme is the speed of supply. Next-
day availability for UK customers means
the Veriflex® range sets a new bar for the
industrial process and control industry.
Darren Clark, UK & Ireland Sales Director
at Eland Cables explains:
“There are two things that are paramount
to UK buyers of European industrial cables
- quality and availability. Delays to delivery
can mean delays in commissioning and
pass-over times, which ultimately means
wasted expense and critical project
delays. Yet, until now, two-week lead-
times have been considered the norm,
whilst a lack of specific standards for
manufacture has meant a cost-premium
for confidence in quality.”
Darren Clark continues:
“Ultimately it comes down to peace of
mind. The industrial and automation
sectors have suffered from an
inconsistency in the quality of the cables
they regularly use. With Veriflex® cables
available on a next-day basis, we aim to
provide the continuity, consistency and
confidence that will make a genuine
commercial difference for customers.”
For Eland Cables, this new range
further underlines their commitment
to compliance, with Veriflex® already
specified by major multi-national
developers to our upcoming projects.
