Standards, performance and approvals
Flexicon conduits and fittings are manufactured by Flexicon to comply with the IEC and European conduit standard BS EN IEC 61386 - see classification table below.
Certain tests are carried out internally by Flexicon, other testing is carried out externally by accredited test laboratories. Specific test reports are available upon request.
Vibration and shock testing to EN61373 Cat 2.
Certain conduit systems have been tested and approved to the relevant parts of the Australian Standard AS2053.
Where product performance data over and above the requirements of BS EN IEC 61386 is provided e.g: Low Fire Hazard testing and EMC screening, other appropriate standards have been used.
Cable glands are manufactured to EN 50262.
Push button timers are manufactured to EN 60730-2-7.
Further information regarding standards and approvals can be found on page 96.
