Respooling, mandatory UL certification

UL requires that for the certified cables used for the production of machinery and plants according to North American Standards, the traceability of the product and of the original manufacturing process has guaranteed.  The surface printing of the cables alone isn’t sufficient to fulfill this requirement therefore UL requires that the certification label affixed to the original spool should always be kept with the cable.  In case of a cable is respooled into smaller quantities, it is required that every single spool is provided with the original traceability information by special certification labels.  This process, defined by UL as “Processed Wire – Respooled”, is under a specific certification that is recorded in the on-line UL database and that requires the activation of severe process procedures.

Tekima is certified for this process therefore it can provide cables on a wide variety of spool types, sizes and lengths according to the UL requirements and it can guarantee the total traceability of the product to its customers. Our certifications “Processed Wire” and “Processed Wire for Canada” for UL Listed cables and “Processed Wire – Component” and “Processed Wire for Canada – Component” for UL Recognized cables are downloadable from UL web site searching for the File Number E466306 or directly from our web site download area.
